History
On 28 October 1998, remnants of the Rohingya Solidarity Organisation's armed wing and the Arakan Rohingya Islamic Front merged and formed the Arakan Rohingya National Organisation (ARNO), with the RNA as the group's armed wing.
The RNA launched a joint operation with the Arakan Army on 5 April 2001, killing five Myanmar Army soldiers and wounding 12 others. On 27 May 2001, the RNA raided a Myanmar Army military camp at the village of Bodala, 30 miles (48 km) north of Maungdaw, near the Bangladesh–Myanmar border. According to RNA claims, the Myanmar Army suffered 20 casualties.
