AI Summary:
Ataullah Abu Ammar Jununi is known as the commander-in-chief of Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army. ARSA members have been involved in targeted killings, kidnappings, illicit drugs, smuggling and other serious crimes. Infighting and retaliatory attacks over control of the camps led to deaths of hundreds. Successive governments in predominantly Buddhist Myanmar have denied the Rohingya basic rights and citizenship. For decades, Bangladesh has sheltered more than 1 million refugees. Another 70,000 arrived in Bangladesh last year while thousands of new babies are born every year.
