Myanmar sells Arakan rice and natural resources, buys weapons and kills Arakan

In Arakan, where the Arakan-Myanmar war is intensifying, the invading Myanmar forces are killing Arakanese people in various ways.

In addition, Myanmar Army has blocked off all roads and waterways, and no goods are allowed to be transported without permission.

Medicines are blocked, and patients who need medicine and the elderly are suffering. As the transportation of rice is also blocked, the rural people and those fleeing the war are starving.

In this situation, Myanmar is selling the rice produced by the big rice mills in Arakan to Bangladesh, giving a small profit to the rice traders. This sale will also earn foreign currency to buy weapons for the Myanmar army, so the people of Arakan will starve to death and Arakan will be killed with weapons Myanmar buy from Arakanese rice,natural gas, etc.

Tens of thousands of tons of rice have already been sold at $465 a ton. Under Myanmar's rule and occupation, the people of Rakhine have no food, no shelter, and no clothing. There is no other way for the Arakanese people except to fight and drive out the Myanmar rule and occupation from Arakan.

Religious Festival In Arakan

 Arakanese people posted short videos and photos on their Facebook page that showed how Arakanese people celebrated the Arakanese religious festival of wagyu in Arakan.

Wagyut festival is when Lord Buddha descended from a celestial abode to our planet after he preached to his deceased mother to Ultimate True in the celestial abode for three months. Lord Buddha’s

mother was reborn in a celestial abode before Lord Buddha became the enlightened one as Lord Buddha.

On this day, people across the Arakan celebrated wagyut festival by fastingat monasteries, donating dry rations to monks and nuns, and paying respects to elders. At night, they set off hot air balloons into the sky and illuminated oil lamps at home, temples, and pagodas.

At Arakan Army’s Headquarters, fighters and members held competitions of individual capability,traditional sports, and musical concerts on this full moon day. Allis of Arakan Army   - KIA, MNDAA,and TNLA -  joined to participate in this event every year.

 Today, August 13, marks the 55th anniversary of Arakanese  City of Sittwe Rice Problem Day. Even though Years had passed, Arakanese new generation still is mourning and unable to forget this day because between 400 and 500 Arakanese are killed by the Myanmar government led by Ne Win.

By the time all the rice from Arakan was forcibly taken and sold to foreign nations by the Myanmar government in 1967, the Arakanese people faced famine. Therefore, over ten thousand Arakanese people took the streets of Sittwe City to protest and demanded to back of all the rice to Arakan. Instead of returning rice to Arakan,Myanmar Army fired into proceeding when they arrived at Mra rice mill, killing between 400 and 500 Arakanese people.

When Myanmar Army fired into the proceeding, some protestors ran and jumped down into Satroekay Creek and swam to another side of the creek,  which was nearby the Mra rice mill. But they were also shot and killed from the bank of satroekay creek by Myanmar Army, appearing the water creek blood-red color with Arakanese protestors.

Hence, the new generation of Arakan painfully commemorates every year on this day to remind the past in which Myanmar killed innocent Arakanese old generation intentionally and also observe how to avoid situations like this from invaders Myanmar or Burma.

Under Myanmar's rule, the Arakanese people are systematically massacred every now and then on every situation by Myanmar or Burma since Arakan lost its sovereignty to Myanmar or Burma.

Clashes break out between the Arakan Army and Myanmar Army after Myanmar's oppressions become the worse on Arakanese people

 

In the entire Arakan, western region of so-called Myanmar,  Myanmar Army is nowadays killing and arresting Arakanese people every single day and also making Arakanese people's life difficult and treating Arakanese people in a cruel and oppressive way and not giving them the same rights, freedom. etc. as Burmese or Myanmar.

By the time, the motorboat is transporting students from the school of Remawa village to Tuinmawa village on August 2, 2022 after school time in Paletwa Township, in Arakan,Myanmar soldiers shot at them from the bank of the Kalatan river indiscriminately, therefore, two students are killed on the spot, and three students were also injured. There is a total of ten students on the board.

 

Meanwhile, there is a battle between the Arakan Army and the Myanmar Army in Namada Creek, Paletwa Township Nira Yassari, on August 2/2022 in Arakan. Villagers said that since the morning of August 2nd, the Arakan Army (AA) and Myanmar Army have been fighting in Namada Creek, Paletwa Township. 

Elsewhere, particularly, at the Bangladesh border, there is also fighting between the Arakan Army and Myanmar Army on the same day, therefore, long-range missiles and Artillery shells are being launched from the Paletwa -based battalion to the Bangladesh border as reinforcement of its military power by the Myanmar Army.

Villagers said that shots were also heard on the Namada Creek side yesterday, and the clashes continued from this morning until the evening. Consequently, many residents are starting to flee from their homes to nearby places.

Myanmar still is arresting innocent Arakanese people

 There are three Arakanese men, in Ponnagyun and Kyauktaw Township in Arakan, whom Myanmar Army arrested a week ago. U Moe Thee Khaing, 50, and U Maung Hsan, 40, were taken from their homes by about 20 Myanmar soldiers (invaders to Arakan) on July 19, and their families have not been able to contact the detainees, a relative of U Moe Thee Khaing told one of main Arakan Media DMG.

During the main time, a man from the Kavi Yadana camp for internally displaced people (IDPs) in Kyauktaw, Arakan ,  was arrested on July 19 and has not been heard from since, according to family members. U Kyaw Hein, a 39-year-old traditional medicine practitioner, was arrested while returning to Kavi Yadana displacement camp after providing medical treatment to a patient from neighboring Kangyishin IDP camp on the night of July 19.  

According to DMG media, The Myanmar Army arrested residents of both Ponnagyun and Kyauktaw townships last month as well. The Myanmar Army also detained Ko Zaw Win aka Ludu Zaw Win, U Kyaw Than Maung, and Ko Zaw Moe Htet from Kyauktaw on June 21, subsequently charging the trio under the Penal Code’s Section 505(a). 

Ko Zaw Win aka Ludu Zaw Win from Pyidawtha ward; U Kyaw Than Maung, a resident of Khaungtoke village; and Ko Zaw Moe Het, a resident of Panphechaung village, were arrested by the Myanmar Army on June 21, and these three men have not been allowed to meet their families.

The arbitrary arrests of Myanmar Army in Arakan

 When the Arakan lost its sovereignty because of Myanmar"s invasion and fell under Myanmar's rule, Arakanese people were to be called ethnic of Myanmar. In fact, the Arakan should only be called a colonized nation and a colonized national.

Myanmar is calling on the Arakan as an ethnic is to continue to rule Arakan systematically and strategically. So far as I know, there are something like ethnics in England and Spain. Those ethics are treated as a complete brotherhood by the English and Spanish governments. But, it is very much different that Arakan is being treated as ethnic by Myanmar.

Every day, Myanmar Army is arresting the Arakanese people and giving heavy prison sentences on the accusation of tieing with the Arakan Army. Some are to die in detention centers and jails due to the atrocious investigation of the Myanmar Army.

"The Myanmar military arrested at least 40 locals across Kyauktaw, Ponnagyun, and Mrauk-U townships. In many cases, family members do not know where the detainees are being held. The military has not given any official statement to the media as to why these locals were arrested " said U Mrat Tun, executive director of the Arakan Human Rights Defenders and Promoters Association.

U Mrat Tun also condemned the military’s refusal to allow the detainees to contact their families after their arrest. He called on the military to allow the detainees to contact their loved ones as soon as possible.

“Among the detainees were underage children and this is a violation of human rights,” he added. 

There are almost over hundreds of Arakanese people whom the Myanmar Army has arrested nowadays during the resuming fighting between the Arakan Army and Myanmar Army in the entire Arakan after the informal ceasefire with the Arakan Army.

Retaliatory attack by the Arakan Army

 Mr.Khaing Thu Kha, spokesperson of Arakan Army told Arakan Princess Media that Arakan Army retaliated by attacking the Myanmar Army on 18/7/2022 in Maungdaw Township. The reason why Arakan Army retaliated against Myanmar Army was that Arakan Army's camp was bombed by Myanmar Army in Karen State a few weeks ago.

The first attack of retaliation occurred in the morning at 9:00 o'clock in Rakhay Payi village and the second attack was followed at 10:30 am.

During the period of fighting, Arakan Army captures 14 enemies consisting Myanmar border guards polices and infantry soldiers. Amongst the all, there is police commander who surrenders and Arakan Army seizes a lot of ammunitions, two pistols, 24 assault rifles and some military equipment.

As soon as possible, Myanmar Army reinforced its troops to where Arakan Army's attacks had taken place and fired Artillery shells in all directions at random until the sun went down.

Elsewhere, villagers were forced to flee as the enemy entered the villages with complete weapons.

 Because of this,  Arakan Army is keeping a close eye on the enemy and there will likely be fierce fighting between Arakan Army and Myanmar Army anytime soon.

Myanmar cowardly strafes Arakan

 Myanmar Army launched an air strike on Arakan Army's liberated eastern Headquarters near the Thai-Myanmar border at 12 am on 4/7/2022.

Due to the sudden and intentional attack of the Myanmar Army's air strike, six Arakanese soldiers were killed and rockets strafed from the supersonic jets hit a sewing machine training facility and some buildings.

The two supersonic jets of the Myanmar Army entered and flew into Thai airspace after a sudden bombing of the Arakan Army base near the border from the Myanmar side.

The civilization of wild living beings in the jungle, which the Myanmar Army is currently utilizing on the Arakanese people by killing, persecuting and shooting. 

As carnivorous animals do not need to consume any vitamins found only in vegetables, Myanmar Army does not need to care about human rights and any international laws before and after killing weaker Arakanese people. 

The behavior of the Myanmar Army does not change any respect for human rights and prevention of further violation of international humanitarian laws. Their habit of blanket denial and cruel attitude toward other races and religions is the main factor in crimes against humanity.
