Arakan under the Myanmar or Burma rule




The western part of so-called Myanmar is the lost Arakan kingdom to Myanmar.  Myanmar
or Burma occupied it and colonized it until now. Under the Myanmar rule, Arakanese are
being badly persecuted and the land of Arakan is becoming poorer land of the world.
Therefore, Arakanese people, from time to time, are struggling to regain their nation back from Myanmar or Burma in a way of possibilities.
Nowadays, Arakanese people gave birth its Arakan Army to survive alive and free from Myanmar. Hence, almost everyday, Myanmar Army’s columns are launching offensive attacks against the Arakan Army in Arakan, western part of so-called Myanmar, by using air force and artillery. Myanmar Army’s offensive attack against the Arakan Army in Arakan has been almost over three months except just a few days without deadly clashes. Myanmar Army is not only targeting to attack Arakan Army but also bombing Arakanese villages.
Columns of Myanmar Army bomb villages, cultivating fields, farmyards and haystacks. By the
time Myanmar Army bombs on haystacks of poor farmers, fire breaks out and engulfs some
houses of villages causing minor and elder persons to die. So, villagers are afraid and flee from their villages to nearby villages. At the same time, Myanmar soldiers forcefully enter into villages and loot properties of villagers.
A few days back, in Maung Daw Township, due to Myanmar Army, haystacks in paddy fields
were burn to ground after its flames burst into nearby woods. Fire engines from local fire station were fighting to extinguish.
Almost everyday clashes between the Myanmar Army and Arakan Army in Arakan cause villagers to flee from their villages becoming internally displaced persons. Nowadays, there are
almost 7000 IDPs in Arakan in just three months. Even if number of IDPs is appearing much,
Myanmar government and Myanmar Army do not allow International Organizations and Local Aid Groups to access IDPs to help humanitarian aids.
