The Rohingya National Army (RNA) is a Rohingya Islamist insurgent group in Rakhine State (Arakan), Myanmar (Burma). In 1998, factions split from the Rohingya Solidarity Organization (RSO), the Arakan Rohingya National Organization (ARNO), and the Arakan Rohingya Islamic Front (ARIF) and formed a mutual alliance, and established the RNA, whose affairs and establishments were managed by ARNO.
In June 2015, three Burmese engineers were kidnapped and beheaded by insurgents allegedly belonging to the RSO faction of the RNA.[1]
