“The ethnic group that resides on the west of Mayu District boundaries are Pakistani. And the people who reside on the east side of this border are (Myanmar)… From today on, I openly and publicly tell you (Rohingyas) this: We consider the people of Mayu District an ethnic minority integral to the Union of Burma.”

– Brigadier-General Aung Gyi, vice-chief of staff the Burma Armed Forces (Army), speaking at the mujahideen surrender ceremony in Maungdaw, 4 July 1961.
