The Maoist insurgency in Bangladesh is an ongoing conflict between the government of Bangladesh and the PBCP and the PBCP-J.

## History[edit]

The Purbo Banglar Communist Party was founded in 1968. During the Bangladesh Liberation War the group aligned itself with Pakistan and China against Bangladeshi nationalists and the Soviet Union.[5][failed verification]

But only in the 1990s did he begin to be active in criminal activities (such as extortion, murder, kidnapping, to finance his armed struggle).[6][failed verification] During the In 1993 the group started a war against the BCP for the control of the territory and for ideological differences (the BCP is only Maoist, instead the PBCP has become over the years a mixture of Maoism and Naxalitism).[4] In the 2000s the group underwent several splits, the most important, which took place in 2003, formed the PBCP-J group (Purga Banglar Communist Party-Janajuddha, that wants a socialist revolution) thus starting an internal conflict that will cause 18 victims.[7] In 2002, Gazi Kamrul, founder of BCP was detained from his residence, known as White House, by joint forces during Operation Clean Heart on 23 August 2002.[8] Since 2005 the PBCP began to extend its insurrection with terrorist attacks, clashes with the government and with rival groups and some Islamist groups.[9][failed verification] In 2006 the PBCP-J also began to carry out attacks and to clash with the government.[9] Between 2005 and 2006, 379 peoples died in the insurgency.[2] After this period, the insurrection diminished in intensity from year to year with few incidents and clashes.
