The 2014 Bangladesh-Myanmar border skirmish was an armed skirmish between Bangladesh and Myanmar in May 2014.
The skirmish took place between troops of the Border Guard Bangladesh and the Burmese Border Guard Police in Naikhongchhari, Bandarban.[1][2][3][4][5]
Cause[edit]
The RSO, formed around 1980, had been demanding rights for Rohingyas.[lower-alpha 1] The Rohingya Solidarity Organisation launched an armed rebellion, in the previous century, however discontinued in 1998. The Tatmadaw continued operations against rebels for years.[1]
He said the BGB, after the meeting, launched operations in collaboration with the army but did not find any RSO bases inside Bangladesh.[1]
Conflict[edit]
In an unprovoked attack, BGP shot at BGB patrols at Naikhongchhari border in Bandarban on May 28, leaving Mizan dead. The Myanmar force then intruded into Bangladesh and took away his body, his firearm and ammunition, creating huge tension and firing at the border.[2]
On May 30, Myanmar border guards attacked another BGB team, when it neared the border searching and waiting for Mizan. A gunbattle then took place between the two sides.[3][4]
Aftermath[edit]
After the incident, Myanmar deployed the Army to stand guard with its border police along its border with Bangladesh, while BGB called for reinforcement with heavy weapons.[3][5]
Myanmar finally handed over Mizanur's body to BGB the following day and the, 120 rounds of ammo, the foreign ministry summoned the Myanmar ambassador in Bangladesh, twice demanding the body and withdrawal of the army, That Myanmar had deployed along the border.[5]
