For years, the Rohingya crisis has been understood through one central lens: The Myanmar military committed genocide against a stateless Muslim minority and drove more than a million people from their homes. That remains true. But it is no longer the whole truth. A new Human Rights Watch report on the massacre of Rohingya civilians by the Arakan Army in Rakhine State exposes a darker and more complicated phase of the crisis. The Rohingya are not simply trapped by the old genocidal state; they are now also vulnerable to the ethnic nationalist forces seeking to inherit power in its place.
