Myanmar which is hermaphrodite

The civilization of wild living beings in jungle which Myanmar Army is utilizing in the

lost Arakan to Myanmar( western Myanmar) currently by killing, persecuting and shooting

Arakanese people. 

As carnivorous animals do not need to consume any vitamins which are found just only in vegetables, Myanmar Army does not need to care human rights and any international laws before and after killing weaker Arakanese people.  So, I guess that Myanmar Army is very much dangerous carnivore for humanity.

On the other hand, together Myanmar Army and Myanmar government are similar

to earth worms.  As earth worms’ mating cause one worm to the other to store sperms in sacs and form cocoons on each of them and also deposit eggs in the cocoons of both of them, Myanmar Army and Myanmar government are hermaphrodite. They intercourse at a time with the same feeling and both of them lay eggs. That is to say that whenever Myanmar Army kills 

our innocent Arakanese people, there are also Myanmar government’s fingerprints on corpses of our poor Arakanese people.

Rising number of refugees face food shortage in Arakan

In the lost Arakan - especially in northern Arakan - to Myanmar, there are Internally Displaced Person Camps due to Myanmar Army’s offensive military operation against the Arakan Army nowadays. Most of those IDP camps are running out of food because regional Arakan State Government intentionally reduces to provide and blocks all donors and organizations to access IDP camps without permission.

Therefore, donors and organizations are unable to go IDP camps to provide IDPs in the

camps. Moreover, most of organizations do not have funds to assist over the long term.

On the other hand, Myanmar Army is still launching its offensive attacks against the Arakan Army everyday without care of the children and without care of the women, shooting into villages, arresting and killing Arakanese villagers.

So, villagers are to flee from their villages to nearby IDP camps after every offensive attack

launched by Myanmar Army, rising number of IDPs up to 70,000 across the 61 refugee

camps in Northern Arakan.

The rind of lemon Talks

To sign the Bilateral Ceasefire Agreement between the Myanmar Army and Northern

Alliance – Kachin Independence Army, Arakan Army, Palaung National Liberation Army

and MNDAA  -  on 17/9/2019, in Kengtung, Shan State, Northern Myanmar, Leaders and

representatives from both sides had met.

During the meeting, both sides discussed to cease fighting each other but clashes between

two sides are still happening in Arakan and Shan State everyday, killing and wounding villagers.

The talks is just like rind of lemon under which one can gradually taste sour later because when Arakan Army discussed and proposed to base its Headquarters in Arakan during the meeting, Myanmar Army’s delegation intentionally avoided and postponed it. It was just clear point that both ruling party led by Aung San Suu Kyi and Myanmar Army were unwilling to let Arakan Army to base Headquarters in Arakan. However, thousands of soldiers of Arakan Army were already in Arakan and gained strongholds across the Northern Arakan.

Therefore, Myanmar Army is desperately launching offensive military operation against the Arakanese people’s Arakan Army everyday in Arakan, causing Internally Displaced Persons up to 70,000 and killing and wounding hundreds. 

On the eve of Bilateral Ceasefire Talks, Myanmar air force ‘s three helicopters strafed rockets and bombs position of Arakan Army on the mountain in Minbya Township in Arakan. And Myanmar Army is still launching offensive attacks against the Arakan Army in Arakan after meeting.

After talks, some politicians remarked that there is positive result of talks while others expressed that there is still clashes in Arakan because Myanmar Army left Arakan when it declared unilateral ceasefire in entire Myanmar to crush Arakan Army.  

Dr Nyo Twan Aung, deputy chief of the Arakan Army, told media that the discussion for signing bilateral ceasefire agreement had to take time because both side misunderstood the points in the agreement.

However, both sides consented or agreed to hold talks again in October in this year.

Myanmar Army is shooting and killing Arakanese people daily

On Saturday in Pan Mraung village of Minbya Township, Northern Arakan, artillery shell fired from nearby Aung Mingala Hill by Myanmar Army has killed Arakanese student girl and  two boys and badly injured three others who are still in the hospital.

From Saturday to Tuesday, August 27, 2019 , Myanmar Army is continually shelling mortars to surrounding hills and bombing with two fighter aircrafts into woods and hills.Therefore, Pan Mraung villagers are fleeing from their village to Mrauk U Town and Min Bya Town in fear with just only cloth on their bodies.

According to Arakan Army - which is struggling for freedom of its people -  shelling from Aung Mingala Hill by Myanmar Army killed our Arakanese student girl and boys.

Village administrator Tin Aung Kyaw  also told local media that Myanmar Army stationed in the village and Aung mingala hill, shelling mortars and firing heavy weapons everyday from dawn to dusk to surrounding hills.

Meanwhile, a woman from Tun Ra Wai village, Rathidaung Township, was shot by Myanmar Army men while she and her villagers were running from their village during gunfire sprayed by Myanmar Army into her village. Her  situation is so much bad in the hospital because bullet is still in her spine and her nerves is damaged. Therefore, nervous system in the body causes to numb her lower part of body. She is transferred to Rangoon hospital.

And a gentleman from Pauk Taw Pyin village, Mrauk U Township, was also shot by Myanmar Army when he and his three friends from his village came from pasture after herding cattle. As soon as Myanmar Army men saw gentleman and his friends – who were coming from pasture with cattle – they opened fire indiscriminately into them. So, the bullet hit his buttock and Myanmar Army men stamped him while his face was downward to the ground after bullet hit hm. He is in the hospital and his condition is critical.

On 27/8/2019, a married woman from Shew Haling village of  Kyauk Taw Township was shot

in the midnight and bullet hit her thigh., Local media Narinjara writes.

Myanmar Army – which is considered to be one among the worst in the world – is shooting and killing Arakanese people everyday in Arakan after Nobel Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi instructed her notorious Myanmar Army to crush Arakan Army  by using air force  on 7/1/2019.

Arakanese villagers escape and take refuge in downtown

Due to Myanmar Army’s offensive attacks against the Arakan Army in Northern Arakan

( western Myanmar), over 200 villagers from Kyauk Tan village in Rathedang Township

critically had become Internally Displaced Persons again nowadays.

By the time Myanmar Army hijacked 275 Kyauk Tan villagers at village school premises on 2/5/2019, seven villagers were killed and eight were wounded. 

Since then, villagers are every now and again persecuted by Myanmar Army men who are shelling mortars around the village once in a while. 

Therefore,  over 200 villagers from Kyauk Tan village attempted to escape from arbitrary attacks of Myanmar Army  and came to take refuge in the downtown of Rathedaung Town, Northern Arakan.    

No Myanmar administrator and regional puppet government take accountability and responsibility about them right now. 

However, Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) are trying to help them but there were a lot of problems for them to help villagers because of insufficient fund and accommodation. Among the over 200 IDPs, there are pregnant women , elder men and women  and just infants who all are suffering.

Myanmar Army detains refugees from Thameehla village in village monastery

Three boats , out of the blue, arrived riverside of Thameehla village of Rathetaung Township in Northern Arakan  and Myanmar Army men were being loaded onto boats. Simultaneously, three helicopters were also hovering above the boats before Myanmar Army men from boats and helicopters entered  Thameehla village.

As Myanmar Army men entered into Thameehla village, they were shooting spray of machine- gun bullets. According to local media, there was an Army of 150 troops which entered Thameehla village in the evening of 7 August. Almost every villager fled in fear, leaving everything.

Unfortunately, there was a funeral for a woman who died on 7 August. Family members were scheduled to hold the funeral on 8 August, but nobody attended the funeral service because all villagers fled from their homes, local media writes.

Village elders and adolescent girls only were taking refuge at village monastery. However, Myanmar Army men trespassed into religious temple with deadly weapons and detained all of them. Nobody could still know what happen to them after Myanmar Army men detained all of village refugees at monastery in Thameehla village.

  

INGO service personal was shot in the chest by Myanmar Army

In the Arakanese ancient city Mrauk U, Arakan (western so-called Myanmar),

one of INGO staff members was shot in the chest by the time he was travelling

by motorcycle around the Tamarite village at seven in the evening on 28/7/2019 by brutal

killer Myanmar Army.

INGO service personal name is Ree Lin Naing aged 25 and he is married man and he has

a little daughter. After Myanmar government and its Army imposed internet ban and a curfew in Arakan, Arakanese people are being everyday subjected to beat, persecute, shoot and kill by Myanmar Army.   Ko Ree Lin Naing was transferred to Sittwe General Hospital at about 11:00 a.m. on Monday, a hospital employee said over the phone. His condition was unclear.

Since Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi directed her brutal , notorious Army to launch operation against the Arakan Army,  her killer Myanmar Army was terminating Arakanese people everyday. It is learnt that Myanmar Army has killed over ten  Arakanese people in every month after Aung San Suu Kyi called for her Army to crush Arakan Army seven months ago. 

Right now , there are over 72 Arakanese people who were killed by Myanmar Army during the seven months , not including injured persons and missing persons. And there are just over 60,000 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs)  across the northern Arakan where 

Myanmar Army men  commit war crimes by persecuting, killing, looting, raping.

No IDPs is able to get basic sufficient requirements for their living because Myanmar government ignores situation in Arakan and blocks all humanitarian aid from local and international.

According to media, most war refugees are from Mrauk-U Township, followed by Rathedaung. It is also learnt to realize the conditions in refugee camps that are located near towns are somewhat okay but those in camps far from town face many difficulties. 

Almost every IDPs camp runs out of food and most camps are facing health problems while Myanmar government and its Army continually are waging war against the Arakan Army by launching military operation without caring international laws and shutting down internet service and imposing a curfew in northern Arakan.

Irresponsible Myanmar Army and Government which Arakanese people do not need

A column of Myanmar Army attacked position of Arakan Army in Buthitaung Township,

northern Arakan (western Myanmar) on 22.7.2019. During the attacking against the

Arakan Army, Myanmar Army shelled mortars not only location of battle but also villages.

There was a Muslim village, named Sin They Pyin , which was hit and landed mortar

by Myanmar Army. Due to landing mortar in the village, a Muslim youth injured and a house

was ruined . 

Meanwhile, the Arakanese youth was hit bullet on head by Myanmar Army in Mrauk U Township when his family including him came to Tin Nyo village by motor boat.

From the bank of river, Myanmar Army opened fire them and shelled the boat with small mortar (9mm).  The injured youths were admitted to hospital in a critical condition. 

No Myanmar Army officer and no Myanmar administrator comes forward to take responsibility. Local Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) alone are just to make them to be in hospital.

It is wonderful that Myanmar Army and government are taking no responsibility about everything in Arakan even if they are ruling Arakan after occupying.

So, it is absolutely reasonable that Arakanese people should not need irresponsible Myanmar Army and Government but need responsible Arakan Army and Government.

  

Myanmar Army has set fire to village again in Arakan

There was arson again to Arakanese village in northern Arakan( western Myanmar)

committed by Myanmar Army  on  July 13, 2019 after Myanmar government led by

Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi shut down internet service in Arakan.

This time, no sooner had Myanmar Army set fire to houses from Nwa Ron Taung village of Buthitaung Township, than it accused Arakan Army as arsonist.

The Arakan Army -  which is given birth by Arakanese people – released statement two days back that denouncing the statement of Myanmar Army alleging the AA of running away after starting fires in Nwa Ron Taung village in Buthidaung Township. 

A villager from Nwa Ron Taung village, who asked anonymity, told local media that Myanmar Army was conducting military operation near the villages and set fire to village by the time it became to be in disadvantage.

According to media like Radio Free Asia, Throughout Myanmar, there were continued reports of Myanmar military committing human rights violations and abuses particularly in Arakan.

Therefore, The U.S’s State Department has announced in the evening of 16 July that it has imposed travel sanctions on Commander-in-Chief Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, Vice Senior-General Soe Win, Maj-Gen Than Oo, Major Aung Aung and their immediate family members for involvement in gross violations of human rights including in extrajudicial killings in northern Arakan.
