About Arakan Army
The Arakan Army (Rakhine: အာရက္ခတပ်တော်, romanized: Arakha Tatdaw; abbreviated AA), sometimes referred to as the Arakha Army (AA) is an ethnic-armed organisation based in Myanmar's Rakhine State (Arakan). Founded in April 2009, the Arakan Army is the military wing of the United League of Arakan (ULA). It is currently led by Commander-in-Chief Major General Twan Mrat Naing and vice deputy commander-in-chief Brigadier General Nyo Twan Awng. AA seeks a Rakhine State with greater autonomy from Myanmar's central government. It was declared a terrorist organization in 2020 by Myanmar, and again by the State Administration Council junta in 2024.
