A constitution drafted by Myanmar military and unilateral manner by Myanmar regime does not allow Arakanese people to enjoy equal rights and self-determination. The reason why it is that Myanmar has intention to maintain its rule in Arakan.
Therefore, without caring international laws,
Myanmar or Burma has launched an offensive military operation against the
Arakan Army and against the people of Arakan, killing and wounding civilians of
Arakan every day.
Even if during the period of holding election
in its inside, Myanmar does not stop
killing and wounding people of Arakan.
Besides, Myanmar military is looting rice and foods from the villages and from
Internally Displaced Persons ‘camps. Homes in villages are also being set on
fire by Myanmar military. As worst as entire villagers from village are
hijacked and abducted by Myanmar military when soldiers desert their Army, questioning
and persecuting villagers to know whereabouts of their soldiers. Until this
moment, most of villagers still are in the hand of hijacker Myanmar military
without knowing situation of them.
Just two days ago, Six villagers, including two children, were injured in the firing of
artillery shelling over Shaukkon village under Ann township in Arakan by
Myanmar military while Myanmar held so-called election. According to report, The
villagers went on hiding underground since the morning hours. One artillery
shell fell on a monastery and another inside the village,” said Maung Cherry, a
writer based in Kandaunggyi town.
Narinjara News ─ Arakan main media – reports
that earlier, on 8 September last,
three artillery shells exploded at Nyaung Kan village in the same area that
killed five persons including a schoolteacher along with her seven years old
daughter. Another 7 years old child died, where ten other individuals sustained
injuries and they were taken to the hospital.
Under the Myanmar rule, no right to form a
regional government for Arakan even though Arakan political party that won the
election landslide in Arakan. Centralizing power of politic, so-called union
government of Myanmar or so-called constitutional president appoints its
confidants as ministers to form a government in Arakan. The elected representatives
from constituencies are
just to sit on chairs in parliament . Myanmar
political system is basically with features of majority. But what is for
minorities?. The scheme of distribution of powers has not clear demarcation of
legislative , executive and financial powers between Union and states. The
entire administration of the state concerned is assumed by the union because
so-called union has the power to give directions to the states in every matter.
Therefore, it is not
wonderful that Myanmar democracy and election is in question and it is just for
majority Burman race.
