Since six months ago, Myanmar Army – war criminal – launched offensive attacks against the Arakan Army in Arakan (western Myanmar). During the period of within six months, it had lost number of its soldiers and arms and ammunitions. 

According to Arakan Army, the death toll of Myanmar Army reached nearly 1500 during the period of six months but Myanmar Army denied it even if every media expressed.

When all attempts to fight against Arakan Army have failed, Myanmar government led by Aung San Suu Kyi and her Army led by Min Aung Haling imposed internet ban in northern Arakan as a last resort. It was stupidity of Myanmar government and its Army that imposed internet shutdown in Arakan to crush Arakan Army without caring will of public.

After Myanmar government and its Army banned internet services, they started air strikes again against the Arakan Army in northern Arakan, killing villagers and wounding minor boys and girls.

On Monday, the UN’s special rapporteur on the human rights situation in Myanmar released an announcement. “The entire region is in a blackout,” said rapporteur Lee. “I fear for all civilians there, cut off and without the necessary means to communicate with people inside and outside the area.”

Arakan Chief Minister lets police to send villagers into jail






The appointee of Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi in Arakan is Arakan State
Government led by Chief Minister Mr. Nyi Pu who carries out whatever Aung San Suu Kyi instructs to him.  So, he arrested Arakanese political leaders, religious monks and villagers even if his blood is Arakan’s.

After Aung San Suu kyi called for her brutal war criminal Myanmar Army to launch
offensive attacks against the Arakan Army -
which was given birth by the Arakanese
people to free Arakan from the yoke of Myanmar colony -    Arakan Chief Minister Mr. Nyi Pu ,out of the blue, was arresting villagers in cooperative activity with notorious Myanmar Army.

Myanmar Army is nowadays shelling mortars on the villages in revenge for attacks made by commandos of  Arakan Army and then it is burgling into villages to kill, loot and arrest villagers.

The poor villagers, in fear, are just to flee from their villages to IDPs camps with just only cloth on their bodies. They are to leave their plantations, paddy fields, animal husbandry, so on. Myanmar Army feeds itself vegetables from plantations of villagers and also it feeds itself chickens, pigs, goats, cows and buffalos from villages  when villagers are running away from villages. Moreover, from the every house in villages, Myanmar Army’s dacoits steal golden rings, earring, bangles and local currency notes.

By the time poor villagers reach IDPs camps to take refuge, Myanmar police and Army including immigration officers arrest villagers because of most of villagers have no registration card  of Myanmar and no family tree chart recognized by Myanmar  . They are being accused as members of Arakan Army and are produced before the court after Myanmar Army men make investigation by beating and persecuting.

Chief Minister Nyi Pu whose under the nose, villagers are being everyday arrested from villages and IDPs camps. But, in cooperative activity with Myanmar Army and Aung San Suu Kyi, Mr. Nyi Pu allows police to send villagers into prison.

“They carry guns; there is a major from LID 22, and he leads the team; they do not check the refugees one by one, but speaks to our chief monk; I do not know why, and they may have other purposes,” a novice said.

The soldiers are still surrounding around the IDP camp. Three hundred soldiers are in front and around the village. The other 400 stoops are in the mountain and the forests.

Karen Border Guard Force’s Fighter Wounded in Rakhine State, Myanmar

June 1, 2019. Sittway

Local villagers reported that one of the Karen fighters, who worn Myanmar army uniform of LID 11, 

was captured by Arakan Army during the fight near Yawtayoke village, Pannaygun township, on May 30.

The captive Karen fighter after interrogated by AA members found out he was a member of Myawaddy based BGF, splinter group of Democratic Karen Buddhist Army (DKBA).  

News of Snr Gen Min Aung Hlaing’s request of 1,000 fighters from BGF has been circulated on local and social media since May.

In connection with the top bass request, the leaders of BGF held a secret meeting in Myawadday on May 1.  Commander Gen Htin Maung Htoo, Bo Chit Thu, and Bo Mouk Thone participated in the meeting at their headquarter in Karen State. The meeting reaffirmed the BGF would sent more troops to Rakhine State.

Rakhine villagers have been noticing unusual and irregular fighters with accents who have been seen in Rakhine State for several months along with the Myanmar army fighters.

According to close sources to BGF, 400 troops have been deploying in Rakhine frontlines under the command of LID 11 and 22 since March.

Local people reported 60 fighters of BGF were wounded, and 15 men were already killed during the fights with AA for last a couple of months.

The local people started to notice they could not speak neither Burmese nor Rakhine while they were buying groceries at local markets. Some wounded men also told nurses at local hospitals they were from Karen state.

Since then the local people talked and posted their encounters on social media.

Related to this news of BGF presences in Rakhine state, some photos of Indian looked and very rough men with long hairs who were called as tough army officers by some military supporters Facebook were appeared on online for several months ago.

Some speculators wrote these men must be from Indian army that was helping Myanmar army. But these leaks of photos are in fact from BGF troops who have already been Rakhine State.

Very recently, a Myanmar business man known as Zaykabar Khin Shwe, who is supporter of Myanmar, and BGF commander Major Mouk Thone met in Bangkok. The meeting, many close observers, is believed to be funded to BGF troops via business rewards by Myanmar army.

These news of BGF presences in Rakhine State has been circulated for several weeks on local news and social media, but none of the sources of Myanmar army and BGF itself has yet revealed about it, nor further independent verification was disclosed.
