Despite the constantly extension of unilateral ceasefire by Three Brotherhood Alliance , Myanmar Army intensified offensive assaults and killing civilians of Arakan

Due to Myanmar Army’s offensive military operation against the Arakan Army in the lost Arakan to Myanmar (western Myanmar) , 32 Arakanese people were killed and 68 were injured in April alone in this year .The Arakanese  media  DMG writes that April proved to be another bloody month in Arakan as at least 32 Arakanese civilian killed and 68 were injured.

The townships where the largest number of casualties are being made by Myanmar Army

across the Arakan are KyaukTaw township, Poonagyun township ,Mrauk U township and Minbya township.

Myanmar Army’s strategy while fighting against Arakan Army is just four-cut policy – cutting rations, cutting information, cutting arms and ammunition and cutting recruitments. So, Myanmar Army always targets to kill civilians of Arakan whom it presumes is that civilians of Arakan are supporting supply of above- mentioned to its enemy.   

Why Myanmar Army has been doing internet communication ban, killing civilians of Arakan, blocking humanitarian aid to war refugees and blocking international media person  nowadays is that it is just utilizing four-cut policy against the Arakan Army.But, on the other hand, Arakan Army absolutely realizes what its enemy is doing. Therefore, Arakan Army is practicing tactic to triumph four-cut policy by guerrilla war strategy. 

At the same time , the unilateral ceasefire Arakan Army and its Three Brotherhood Alliance has declared for several times is to effectively carry out practical tasks and to facilitate the peace building process between Arakan Army , its allies and the government of Myanmar and its military.

Similarly, Arakan Army and its Three Brotherhood Alliance have now extended a unilateral ceasefire from May 3, 2020 till May 31, 2020, with the aim to declare a proper bilateral ceasefire between them and the Myanmar Army, to start political dialogue, to make real developments for our peoples, to protect life and property of the general public, to maintain stability for the borders of neighbouring countries bordering with Myanmar and to support the preventive and combative measures to curb the spread of COVID-19.

Despite the constantly extension of unilateral ceasefire by  Three Brotherhood Alliance of the Kokang (MNTJP/MNDAA), the Ta’ang (PSLF/TNLA) and the Arakan (ULA/AA), Myanmar Army has not halted their sea-land-air joint operations against the Arakan Army but conducted the most intensified offensive assaults than ever, based on racial hatred, targeting civilians of Arakan. As a result, heavy fighting is occurring on a daily basis to date. And civilians of Arakan are being targeted to kill more and more by Myanmar Army.
