ARSA are the muslim Rohingya guerillas. This is the guerilla group whose clashes with the military in the past decade led to the Rohingya crisis in Burma. In an ironic twist, it is now the military who is arming and training the very same guerilla group to counter the growing power of Arakan Army whose members are drawn from native Arakanese of the state of Arakan.
