The Arakan Army has completely seized nearly all the SAC’s military camps in Maungdaw Township, located near the Bay of Bengal. Surrounding and cutting off the remaining SAC’s camps in and around Maungdaw Township have also been accomplished.

Myanmar Army makes hydropower project like a shield to fight ArakanArmy

 Myanmar Army utilizes Thahtay stream hydroelectric project site like a shield to attack back Arakan Army(Arakha Army) nowadays.

The intruder Myanmar Army , based in Thandwe Town in Southern Arakan, has made ThaHtay river hydroelectric project  area as a shield and  it attacked nowadays back Arakan Army(Arakha Army) when Arakan Army launched offensive attack against them.

ThanDwe is very much prominent Town in Arakan after Golden City of Mrauk U.

It is located between the Arakan Hill in the east and the Bay of Bengal in the west.

Ngepali Beach in ThanDwe Town is one of the best beaches in the world and it took eighth place of all of the best beaches.

From the eastern Arakan Hill, ThaHtay chaung(ThaHtay stream) flows through ThanDwe  Town.

There is a hydroelectric or hydropower project at the head of the river or at beginning of the river .

All the electricity generated by the project will not be given to Arakan and ThanDwe Town, but only to region in which only Burmese or Myanmar lives. 

if look at this, we can realize how Myanmar treats Arakan.

If the anti-aircraft guns can be used and the artillery positions can be captured, the war can be over in a short time

Myanmar Army led by war criminal Min Aung Hlaing is free from all punishments given by civillize world even if  every day, children, women, pregnant women and the elderly are being killed in various ways in Arakan as well as ethnic areas by it.

Towns and villages were bombed by airplanes and fired with heavy weapons, causing Arakanese villages and towns to burn to ashes.

During the Arakan-Myanmar war nowadys , the Burmese or Myanmar forces have cut off all communication systems, trade routes, food and medicine, and it has been increasing for days, months, and years.

The Arakanese people who are fleeing the war are trying to survive by finding natural vegetables in the jungles and small shrimps and small fishes from the streams in the jungles.

Even those who used to live in the same house in the same family are scattered and unable to contact each other because there are no telephone lines and internet lines whic have been cut. Electricity and transportation are completely gone.

As international aid did not arrive, the world was unaware of the brutality and war crimes committed by the Burmese or Myanmar Army in Arakan.

Even so, the Arakanese people are fighting the Burmese or Myanmar Army hand in hand with the Arakan Army, except for a few opportunists.

The war was prolonged only because the Burmese or Myanmar forces were superior in strength and were attacking with air force and short-range artillery.

If the anti-aircraft guns can be used and the artillery positions can be captured, the war can be over in a short time.

And then,finally, Arakan can once again become an independent country like before.

Invading Myanmar kills Arakanese People daily

 In the Arakan-Myanmar war, the Myanmar or Burmese Army, which is suffering the most on the ground, is bombarding from the air and daily,  the urban battalions they are stationed in are also firing and attacking Arakanese villages and towns with heavy weapons.

Because of these attacks, the people of Arakan are being killed and injured every day.

Yesterday and today, a total of five people were killed and ten people were injured in two places and two towns. 

As far as i know, more than 80 Arakanese people have been killed and more than a hundred injured in the two months of war by invading Myanmar or Burmrse Army.

The Burmese or Myanmar army in Arakan and Sittwe  military government appointed by Myanmar Army which are  responsible, have not yet paid any compensation or apology. Based on race hatred, the Burmese Army and the Sittwe-Military government appointed by Myanmar Army are systematically killing Arakanese people every now and then.

The Intruder Into Arakan Arrests and Tortures Arakanese People

 😈The Invader to Arakan in the Bay of Bengal is Myanmar, which arrested the Chairperson of Arakan woman network, 👩Ms. Nyo Aye, after she attended the ceremony of Rice Problem Day marked 66 years.💥

👦And those Arakanese Students who held the ceremony also were arrested.👮💣💣

In fact, This rice problem day was caused by The Invader Myanmar's oppression on the Arakan.

To cover up their brutality and to stop Arakan from resisting, Myanmar or Burma arrested and tortured the Arakanese people.

Myanmar pumping water from undergroumd to cause problem of big dislocation of layers in Arakan

 Invader Burma or Myanmar, which is selling gas and oil from Arakan to China through thousands miles of pipelines, does not wish to pipe fresh water from the source of the rivers, which is about fifty miles away, and does not want to put it into the lake of city of Sittwe in Arakan intentionally.

But invader Burma in Arakan plans to cause problem by pumping water from the underground in sittwe,Arakan.

As we know, in every big city, government does not distribute underground water. One reason is that underground water is not aboundant like freshwater streams and rivers. That is why groundwater is a delicate resource that we should use at hard time.

According to scientists, groundwater doesn't exist underground like lakes, but seeps between sandstones and hard rocks.

Pumping water so much will cause dislocation of underground layer. Every much pumping water needs recharging again. If you wait for recharging again just only in raining season, it is something that you are to lose ever your earth and suffer something like earthquake.

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.
