400+ conflict-related deaths from disease in Bangladesh (June-Aug 1995 only)[7] 7,000+ non-violent deaths among refugees in India (May 14–21, 1990 only)[7]
The Insurgency in the Chittagong Hill Tracts refers to a political and armed conflict that occurred in Bangladesh in two phases:
Second phase started in 2017 with the establishment of the secessionist Kuki-Chin National Front under Nathan Bom, which wanted to establish a separate state for the Bawm and other ethnic groups in the Bandarban & Rangamati district, and still ongoing.
The actions then carried out by the Armed Forces and the Parbatya Chattagram Jana Sanghati Samiti groups resulted in casualties on both sides.[13] There were also reports of mass rapes by the paramilitary Bangladesh Ansars, though these have been disputed.[14] According to Amnesty International as of June 2013 the Bangladeshi government made "praiseworthy progress" in implementing the terms of the peace accord and in addressing the Jumma people's concerns over the return of their land. Amnesty estimate that there are currently only 900 internally displaced Jumma families.[15][16]
