Ata Ullah asked the people to sacrifice their lives in accordance with the Quran in their struggle.
“If 300 people come from each village, 50 may die in the conflict, but the surviving 250 will win the fight for them.”
The declaration comes in the wake of the rapidly escalating conflict in the Rakhine state. Thousands have fled to Bangladesh and hundreds are reported dead, including insurgents, Rohingya civilians, and the Myanmar law enforcement agency members.
