The Far East still remains the main source of arms for assorted insurgent groups operating in Indias northeast and parts of Myanmar. Rangong island off the cost of Thailand is the resting point for arms that originate from Cambodia and take the sea route through the Andamans to the major receiving point at Coxs Bazar in Bangladeshs southern-most tip. The small town in Bangladesh is so strategically located that the arms coming in from the high seas can easily be transported overland into both Indias northeastern states and Myanmar. Indeed, the Arakan Army and its ally against the Myanmarese military junta, the Chin National Army (another ethnic insurgent group), continue to ship arms through this trusted and time-tested route even now, intelligence sources in the northeast say.
