Myanmar on Sept. 10 rebuffed a cease-fire declared by Muslim Rohingya insurgents to enable the delivery of aid to thousands of displaced people in the state of Rakhine, declaring that it did not negotiate with terrorists, Reuters reported. Attacks by militants on police posts and an army base on Aug. 25 prompted a military counteroffensive that triggered an exodus of Rohingya to Bangladesh. The Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA) insurgent group declared a monthlong unilateral cease-fire, starting on Sept. 10, so that aid could reach these people. Still, security forces in Myanmar are carrying out operations to defend against ARSA, which the government has declared a terrorist organization.
