The atrocities suffered by the Rohingya minority in Myanmar at the hands of the military under the rule of Aung San Suu Kyi are still fresh before the eyes of its members, and therefore they fear the return of military rule following the recent military coup in their country.
After years of conflict and displacement, the Rohingya in Myanmar (Burma) fear the return of the military regime to power, fearing the outbreak of new violence in Rakhine State, where population groups have declared their support for the new authorities.

A large segment of this stateless Muslim minority has spent years in crowded displacement camps without freedom of movement or access to health care in conditions that human rights advocates describe as amounting to "apartheid".

And the military repression, which was recorded in 2017 and witnessed the destruction of entire villages and the flight of about 750 thousand of them to Bangladesh to escape the atrocities, rapes and extrajudicial killings, is still in front of them. In a camp near Sittwe, the capital of Rakhine state, a 27-year-old Rohingya man who asked not to be named said: "With a democratic government, we will have some hope of returning home," adding, "But now, it is certain that we are unable to return."
