Myanmar government and Myanmar Army are two sides of the same coin


The military operation of Myanmar Army to fight against the Arakan Army in the lost Arakan to Myanmar just becomes as an act of terrorism nowadays when Myanmar Army kills, tortures, arrests, beheads and sets civilians of Arakan on fire alive. 

However, it is always considered necessary by Myanmar government for maintaining to Arakan as a hidden colony under the Myanmar rule. Moreover, government of Myanmar has already instructed its Army to launch military operation against the Arakan Army. So, Myanmar government also becomes the main accomplice when its Army commits crimes against the humanity in Arakan.


Every day, the worst crimes committed by Myanmar Army in Arakan are freely being given permission by government of Myanmar. Therefore, both of them , Myanmar government and Myanmar Army , are war criminals and two sides of the same coin.


Alas, an act of terrorism of Myanmar Army has grown beyond the measure in recent days in the lost Arakan to Myanmar. Much to regret of peace-loving civilians of Arakan and their leaders, the threats of an act of terrorism of Myanmar Army have been mounting in several townships in northern Arakan.

Members of Parliament (MPs) are being threatened while protecting civilians of Arakan in order to avoid Myanmar Army’s killing and arresting. Despite the frequent denunciation of this act of terrorism  of  Myanmar Army by world leaders at international forums, most of local residents are being arrested by Myanmar Army while they are travelling by boat and car in northern Arakan.

According to Arakan.news site, two days ago, the army stopped score of motorboats and arrested several villagers including the female contractor of World Bank for community development project in Thar Zay village when they were traveling by motorboats. The arrested woman is Ma U Tin May, and no one knows where she is taken to. 

Another woman – Daw Ma Than – was also arrested when a lot of soldiers are entering into the town of Poonayung and searching every house. The Myanmar soldiers also arrested four men near the town yesterday when they were going out to nearby village by small motorboat. They were badly beaten and tortured in front of the public and taken to the military base of LIB 550. Since then no one has contact with them.

Arakan.News site continues to write that residents feel fear and helpless under the lawlessness and freehand brutal government security forces’ unwarranted shooting, searching, arresting, and torturing. The town residents are victimized under the men in military uniforms who are given impunity to commit war crimes in the name of “counter insurgency operation.
