Troubles in Arakan: 1949 British Perspective!



Three river valleys of North Arakan.
Peter Murray was a pre-war British administrator who spoke fluent Burmese. He was the British Ambassador to Cambodia during 1961-62. 
Peter Murray was also a territorial CAO (Civil Affairs Officer) with the British Army in Northern Arakan during the Second World War. 
He was the same Peter Murray mentioned by Robert Mole in his memoirs "The Temple Bells are Calling" about his time in the Arakan.
Following is his 1949 Foreign Office memo outlining the so-called racio-religious troubles in Arakan due to the Bengali Muslims’ relentless intrusion into Burma.

[TRANSCRIPT]                                                  
FOREIGN OFFICE, S.W.1.
26th January, 1949.
(F 1323/1015/79)
SECRET
Letter to RWD Fowler
Commonwealth Relations Office
Dear Bob,
1.   As some anxiety is being felt about the disorders in North  Arakan and as little seems to be known of the factors involved, I have thought it worthwhile to put on record what I know of the background. I must emphasise that this is mainly based on recollections from my own personal experience, including two years in the area during the war, and though I believe all the statements in it to be true, they ought not to be accepted too uncritically. I enclose five additional copies in case you think it worth sending them to our High Commissions. 
The Area
2.    North Arakan consists essentially of three river valleys, the Naaf, the Mayu, and the Kaladan, which run roughly in a north-east to south-west direction. The two latter converge at Akyab, the political, economic and geographical centre of the area. The alluvial floors of the river valleys are very fertile and produce large quantities of rice, vegetables and other crops. The hills between the valleys rise to about 2,000 feet, are extremely rocky, steep and broken, and are for the most part covered with thick scrub and bamboo jungle. There are no hard roads (apart from a short road from Buthidaung to Maungdaw) and the earth roads made during the war will, by now, have reverted to jungle.  Almost all the transport, even between neighbouring villages, is by water. The Pakistan-Arakan boundary runs up the estuary of the Naaf river and thence north-eastward into the hills.


                                               
The People
A)       The Arakanese:
 3.      The Arakanese are Buddhists, and are an offshoot of the Burmese race, speaking a strongly differentiated form of the Burmese language. In the 16th and 17th centuries, Arakan was a powerful and important kingdom, stretching to Chittagong in the north, where there was an Arakanese Viceroy, and preying on the shipping of the Mogul Empire in Bengal. The kingdom was subdued by the Burmese at the end of the 18th century, and came under British rule in 1825. There is a fairly strong admixture of Indian blood in the Arakanese, who are generally regarded as the Scots of Burma.  Before the war there was a small but powerful and influential Arakanese aristocracy who provided many of Burma’s ablest politicians and civil servants, and most of her few successful native business men.

B)        The Chittagongian Moslems:
4.      These are an off-shoot of the Bengali race, speaking a debased form of Bengali interlarded with Portuguese, Arabic and Arakanese words. They are much more hard working and prolific than the Arakanese and fanatically religious. They are also great seamen: Chittagongian “lascars” manned about 20% of the British merchant navy during the war. For the last several hundred years, they have been moving southwards, gradually displacing and over-running the Arakanese, until in 1941 there were only a few scattered groups of Arakanese villages left in the Chittagong district, and nearly one-third of the 700,000 inhabitants of the Akyab district were Moslems, mostly concentrated in the Northern part of the district. There was a great deal of inter-marriage between the races, usually between Chittagongian men who had come South in search of work and Arakanese women. The children of these marriages were brought up as Moslems and assimilated to the Chittagongian outlook. Every year at ploughing and harvest, about 20,000 Chittagongians from the north moves southward across the frontier and found temporary employment in the rice fields of Akyab.

C)          The Hillmen:
5.    The barren hill jungles between the river valleys are sparsely inhabited by small groups of Hillmen akin to the Chins further east. They are extremely timid and seldom approach the villages of the valleys. They tend to associate with the Arakanese, to whom they are closer by race, rather than with the Moslems.
History
6.     The two communities lived intermingled under British rule for 116 years without much incident, though the latent hostility between them flared up into occasional riots and murders. At the beginning of 1942, the British administration collapsed, and the Japanese with the assistance of the  Arakanese occupied Akyab early in May.  They did not move north of Akyab until October 1942;  and in the meantime, the area of mixed population was the scene of repeated large-scale massacres in which thousands of people perished or died subsequently of starvation and exposure. Eventually the two communities separated into distinct areas, the Arakanese in the south supporting the Japanese and the Chittagongians in the north supporting the British. The area was a battleground for the next two years, and was thoroughly devastated by either side. Numbers of Moslems fled northward to their relatives or to refugee camps in Chittagong; but the fact is that at no time did the Japanese succeed in overrunning the entire area was in great measure due to the staunch loyalty to the Allies of the Moslems who remained.
 7.  In 1945 the British advanced and drove the Japanese from Arakan. Contact was made with elements of the “Burmese National Army” in Arakan, who as elsewhere in Burma, came over to our side and were given arms.
8.  As elsewhere in Burma, the young men who had been in the “Resistance” were unwilling to return to their humdrum life as cultivators or clerks; the old Arakanese nationalism and impatience of rule by Burmese officials flared up, and the whole Division remained in a disturbed condition up to the time f the transfer of power (4th January 1948) since when, by all accounts, the Government has controlled little outside the main towns.
9.   The Moslems in the north, finding themselves at the end of the war in an undisputed majority in the Maungdaw and Buthidaung Townships, at once turned their thoughts towards secession from Burma and accession to India (or Pakistan as that part of India later became). Indeed, if these thoughts were not already in their minds, they were probably put there by a fanatically Moslem I.C.S. officer who visited the area at the end of 1942, nominally to whip up support for the British-Indian war effort. Some of their leaders interviewed Mr. Jinnah in 1947, but received no encouragement of any irredentist Moslem movement in north Arakan.

Bangladesh with 160 millions is only 1/5 of Burma with 60 millions.

10.   It appears, however, that the Burmese, with little appreciation of the factors involved, made no attempt to reassure or placate the north Arakan Moslems. No doubt the congenital incompetence of minor Burmese officials made things worse. Eventually, in March or April 1948, the area appears to have got out of control altogether, and since then the Burmese garrisons have maintained themselves with difficulty in the midst of a hostile Moslem population. The leaders of the revolt called themselves “Mujahed” which, I believe, means a Moslem refugee from oppression, usually the oppression of a non-Moslem Government; their numbers have been put at 3,000 – 5,000 but they undoubtedly have the sympathy and probably active support nor only of the Moslem population of the area which I suppose must be 100,000 – 120,000 but also of the Moslems across the frontier in the Chittagong district, with whom they are connected by the closest ties of race and religion – the frontier is in fact quite artificial at this point.
11.   A great deal has been made in reports of a Communist menace. Some of the Arakanese rebels further south are known to be under so-called Communist influence, though it is doubtful whether their Communism is more than  a mere label. It seems to me unlikely that the “Mujahed” are Communists. They may have allied with Arakanese Communist rebels against the Burmese administration in the hope of establishing an independent state in Arakan after the over-throw of the Burmese Government’s authority by means of such an alliance; but alliance of this kind must have been extremely temporary and could not long withstand the deep racial and religious jealousies between them. 
The Future
12.   It seems unlikely that the Burmese Government will be able to restore order in Burma proper in the near future, let alone in Arakan. The people and the minor officials in Chittagong Division cannot be expected to watch unmoved the struggles of their brothers across the frontier against an alien and infidel administration, and will no doubt continue to support them. If the Pakistan (today Bangladesh) Government were driven by events to abandon their present correct attitude and to intervene they would I think find it very hard to stop short of Akyab, which is the only harbour in the area and the natural trade and communications centre; it controls the broad and fertile Kaladan rice plain, the source of most of the 300,000 tons of rice which used to be exported annually from North Arakan before the War. But this of course is mere speculation.
Yours sincerely,

Monks Protest against Army Killing Buddhists in Arakan

Since the disturbances reignited again in the troubled Arakan our overzealous Army has been shooting dead many Yakhine Buddhists, probably just too many, while protecting the Bengali Muslim minority from them.

Sittwe Hospital is now filled with many young Yakhine Buddhist men with gunshot wounds caused by Burmese guns, not Bengali guns, and it boils the red hot blood of our Buddhist monks all over Burma.

Buddhist monks in Burma especially the young ones calling themselves “Yahan-Pyos” hate the Bengali Muslims and they think the job of Burma army is to shoot the Bengali illegals not the Yakhine Buddhist vigilantes killing the Muslims and burning the Bengali wards and villages in the Arakan.

One cannot blame the Burmese Buddhist monks as they know what would happen once the Bengali Islamists took over Burma, from their own experiences and the harrowing experiences of fellow Buddhists living dreadful lives in Islamic countries like Bangladesh and India and Pakistan.

Especially in Pakistan and Afghanistan the Muslims had killed off all the Buddhists, and all their pagodas and temples razed to the ground. The Talibans in Pakistan even kill young girls wanting to go to school. In their Islamist eyes our Buddhist monks are pure evil and our Buddha statues are just evil icons.

Monks Protesting against Army Killing Yakhine Buddhists

Yesterday Burmese Buddhist monks staged a peaceful protest against Burma army killing Yakhine Buddhist vigilantes in current Arakan incidents. Hundreds and hundreds of Buddhist monks gathered first at Sule Pagoda in Rangoon at about one pm on October 25 and later moved to the Rangoon City Hall.

Their four points demand to the President Thei Sein is as follows.
1.      To protect Yakhine Buddhists from the enemy Bengali Muslims.
2.      To stop the army from shooting the national ethnics.
3.      To permanently Segregate the Bengali Muslims from the Yakhine Buddhists.
4.      President to act decisively on the Bengali Illegals issue.

Their particular concern was the army’s shooting of Yakhine Buddhists in current Arakan incidents. Many monks said that they were heavily saddened by the lives lost of Yakhine Buddhist in the hands of Burma army and they wanted the army to immediately stop shooting the Yakhine Buddhists.

“First, we demand the government to immediately and effectively protect Yakhine Buddhist from the harms of Bengali Muslims, Second, to immediately stop the army from shooting the Buddhists, and Third, drive out the illegal Bengali Muslims from our land,” demanded one leading monk at the protest.

Presidential Orders to Shoot the Yakhine Buddhists?

When the Islamist mob led by local Muslim politicians at Ramu (formerly a Burmese town of Panwar) ran riots in Bangladesh the Bangladeshi army and police quietly stayed still inside their fortified compounds and wilfully let the 50,000 strong Muslim mob of mainly teenage Madrassa students burn the 300 years-old Buddhist temples to the ground and kill the Buddhists including the monks the whole night.

Buddhist-cleansing in Ramu, Bangladesh.
The same thing happens in Pakistan, Malaysia, and Indonesia. That typically Islamic approach to Buddhist-cleansing is called “Letting the Extremist the Free Run in removing Infidels,” but our Burmese government has a very different approach.

Our beloved president will rather order the army to shoot the Buddhist crowd to protect the Bengali Muslims who are more than willing to kill the Buddhists including the old monks as they had displayed with ample evidence in last June Bengali riots at Maungdaw-Butheedaung region, their stronghold of Northern Arakan which they brutally captured in 1942 after killing all 100,000 odds Yahine Buddhist in an Islamic genocide while the whole Burma was in turmoil during the Second World War.

Our president and his advisors seem to worry more about Burma’s image abroad than the survival of their people on the western fringe of Burma or the western gateway into Burma. They are probably forgetting the population explosion in Bangladesh and there are more than 160 million people who have been eagerly eyeing our deliciously rich and bountiful country, Burma.

Please do not forget the most important fact that our brothers Yakhines are guarding that western gateway with their lives so that we have our Buddhist way of life still thriving in the Burma proper. If they fall we are gonna fall too.

OIC's Three stage Islamization of Burma.
The Bangladeshis want to come in and build their mosques and madrassa all over Burma and OIC and Saudi Arabia are right behind them with their military and financial might. It is scary for a Buddhist like me and the monks protesting on the streets of Rangoon.

The smell of death knell for Buddhism is all over Burma. Burma is the last frontier in stopping the relentless Muslim tide and our brothers Yakhines are doing it now and we have to help them with all our might.

But our president, who’d tasted a sweet flavour of being an internationally-acknowledged statesman in recent New York trip, has even threatened to take legal actions against the Yakhine nationalist parties and the Yakhine patriots behind the current and previous disturbances in Arakan.
Presidential threat to take legal action against Yakhine Buddhist Nationalists.

Everybody in Burma knows the Yakhine nationalist parties and their leaders are behind the attacks on Bengali Muslims. They’d been marching with their Yahine crowd in the protest rallies against the Multinational Muslim Mafia OIC (Organization of Islamic Cooperation) all over Arakan.

I guess they aren’t afraid of the threatening rhetoric of the President who was an army general and who has the blood of thousands of Burmese Buddhist including the monks on his own hands especially during the Saffron Uprising in 2008.

Burmese soldiers attacking a crowd (1988).
But shooting our brothers Yakhin Buddhist dead is just too much for me and every patriotic Burmese, I believe. Our president should reconsider his orders to the army and the Burmese soldiers should really think before shooting at their own Buddhist brethren.

Buddhist soldiers killing Buddhists, unbelievable? It reminds me of the faces of Chin soldiers shooting at us the protesting students during the 1974 U Thant Uprising and other similar uprisings in Burma’s past. Burma army has that deviant practice of using minority ethnic battalions to kill the majority Burmese protesting on the streets of Rangoon.

Maybe our Burmese army now has Islamic battalions filled with Bengali Muslim soldiers specially trained to shoot Buddhists and Buddhist monks just for these violent occasions in Arakan!

Indonesia Shuts Down Buddhist Temples in Aceh

Jakarta (Asia News) - Authorities in Banda Aceh, capital of the Aceh Special Territory, ordered the closure of nine Christian home churches and six Buddhist prayer houses for alleged irregularities in their building permit.


According to Deputy Mayor Hajjah Illiza Sa'aduddin Djamal, the buildings were illegal because they lacked the right permit. Under the law, private homes cannot be used "for religious ceremonies or functions."

"Aceh is a special territory that enforces Sharia," she said and home churches violate the law because they lack the appropriate building permit (Izin Mendirikan Bangunan in Indonesian).

The issue is more complicated in the case of Christian places of worship because the latter require the agreement of a certain number of local residents and that of the local interfaith dialogue group. Under the pressure of radical Muslim groups, permits are often denied.

Deputy Mayor Djamal also wants the authorities to monitor the activities of Buddhist and Christian communities to ensure that their services are performed in the right places. This is necessary, in her view, to "maintain interfaith harmony." At the same time, "we shall not issue any new permit for other churches or vihara (Buddhist temples)."
Local Muslim extremists welcomed the decision. Yusuf Al-Qardhawy, head of the Aceh branch of the Islamic Defence Front (FPI), called on other jurisdictions to follow Banda Aceh, enforce Islamic law and stop any non-Muslim worship activity that is not approved.

He said the situation would be monitored constantly to ensure that rules are respected. Local sources note that the municipal order shutting Buddhist and Christian places of worship follows a complaint filed by Islamists concerning an "improper" use of buildings.

The province of Aceh, the westernmost of the archipelago of Indonesia, is also the only one which is subject to Sharia. Compliance is ensured by the 'morality police,' a special force that punishes violations in dress and behaviour.

In the past, a relative calm and religious harmony between the Muslim majority and "foreigners," members of various non-Islamic faiths, prevailed under the leadership of former guerrilla leader, now Governor Irwandy Yusuf.
More recently the situation has changed however. Attacks against religious minorities have started and fundamentalists have gained more power and freedom of action.

In last April's elections, Zaini Abdullah, a former guerrilla leader who lived in exile in Sweden, won promising to fight corruption and impose Islamic law. The strict application of Sharia was one of the conditions separatist rebels imposed on Jakarta to end their armed struggle.

As a result of a recent spike in sectarian tensions, the area saw violence and attacks against Christian communities, which led to the closure of places of worship on the order of the authorities claiming that they lacked proper building permits.
(It is a clever and legal way to get rid of infidels the Buddhists and Christians from the Islamic Republic of Indonesia instead of burning down their temples and churches and killing them like what has been happening in Bangladesh and Pakistan.

Probably the Muslim Indonesians have learned from the Christians Aussies in Australia where the development applications for the mosques and the madrassas are being rejected outright by using overtight building codes and strict zoning laws while the home-mosques are being zealously shut down by using the same codes and laws.

My fellow Burmese Buddhists, please take note, that's the civilized way to do it if you want to stop rapid Islamization of Burma by the OIC and ilegal Bengali Muslims. Use the Municipal by-laws to shut the mosques mushrooming all over Burma like what Indonesian Muslims are doing to shut down the Buddhist temples. Stop burning mosques and killing the Bengali Muslims!)

Save Buddhists

Despite what officials state, the Islamists of Bangladesh have been violently urging all non-Muslims to get out of the country. Buddhists, for example, mostly settled in the southeast part of Bangladesh and less than 1% of the population of 150 million, have been struggling to survive. More than 1,000 have fled; the situation is no different for Christians and Hindus.

What is clear is that Rabita Al Alam al Islami, known as Al-Rabita, a powerful Saudi Arabia-based non-governmenal organization [NGO] has taken charge of Islamization, especially in the remote areas. Since 1980, Al-Rabita has been working throughout southeast Bangladesh to convert the hill people to Islam. There is serious concern that Al-Rabita has been funding terrorists.

Throughout the area, construction of mosques and madrassas [Islamic religious schools] continues. There are now 800 mosques and nearly 300 madrassas built by Al-Rabita. Al-Rabita also has an Islamic Missionary Center with the goal of converting poor tribal people. This Saudi NGO has been spending millions of dollar to promote Shariah law and violent Islamism in the country.
And because Saudi Arabia is one of the top foreign aid donors to Bangladesh -- the government of Bangladesh has taken no action against this NGO. Saudi Arabia has also threatened that if it is discontented, it will send back to Bangladesh the tens of thousands of laborers who work in Saudi Arabia.
 
For three days beginning September 29, more than 25,000 radical Muslims attacked different Buddhist communities in Bangladesh, as reported in news coverage worldwide. The Islamist attackers claimed that a photo of a burned copy of the Koran was posted on Facebook by a Buddhist youth.
The youth denied the allegation and proved that someone else posted the photo in his Facebook wall. At the mere rumor, however, thousands of radical Islamists burned dozens of Buddhist temples and around 100 houses, and looted golden statues of Buddha. Some valuable manuscripts written in the ancient Pali language were also burnt to ashes. 
Officials stated that the radical Islamists used gunpowder and petrol. Afterward, the administration ordered compliance with "CRPC section 144," which restricts gatherings of more than four persons.
In recent years Muslim extremism and violent tendencies, especially in the mountainous areas of Bangladesh, have intensified. According to a Congressional Research Service Report of 2008, the authorities in Bangladesh have expressed concern about the use of madrassas by a network of Islamic activists being investigated in connection with a number of incidents of violence. 
The report states, "There is concern among observers that the secular underpinnings of moderate Bangladesh are being undermined by a culture of political violence and the rise of Islamic extremists."
In 2010, the mountainous areas were rocked by violence, reigniting decades-old ethnic and religious tensions, as Muslim settlers set fire to hundreds of homes of indigenous Buddhists. The attacks resulted in countless injuries and deaths.
Since 1980, there have been 20 major occurrences of massacres against the indigenous non-Muslim people by Muslim settlers -- in co-operation with the government. More than 100,000 Jummas -- the indigenous Buddhists -- have fled across the border to India. Many villages have been completely burnt down by the Islamists. Thousands of Buddhist families who were displaced have not been resettled, and the number of poverty-stricken Buddhist refugees has substantially increased.
These mountainous areas with dense forests have become a safe haven for Bangladeshi Islamist terrorists, who had previously fought in Afghanistan against the U.S.

Stop your Cheatings.Myanmar(Burma) is very kind.

A picture in Facebook
I have found original version here:


This picture was taken in 2010 regarding Earthquake in China and tibetians community help and rescue in China. Now Islamic political parties and some other elements are sharing this image as Muslims killing / slaughter in Burma.
A view of another  widely spreaded  picture with caption of “More then 1000 people killed in Burma” which also has a fake caption.
Original Image and Website:

This picture is of year 2004 nearly 8 years old about riots in Thailand.

One more image is spreading on social media with logo of Jamat-e-Islami having caption “terrorists of Budhism of Burma kills 500 Muslims”
Well this image is also one of incident occur in Thiland (2nd January 2009)
A view of images shared in this article:
One more image spreaded on Social Media regarding Muslims Killing in Burma
This picture is also misleading original picture was from Riots in Thailand and taken in 2003:
One more misleading image shared on facebook with caption “A Muslim was burned in Burma and Journalist are Taking pictures instead of saving him “

The original image was taken when Chinese president visit India:
By sharing all these doesn’t mean that Muslims aren’t killed in Burma but what I mean is we are sharing everything without verification and authenticity of image.

Added: 07-18-2012
I have found more more picture (07-18-2012)  so I am sharing it here.
The real image was regarding 9/11 attacks and arrests of Tajikis and Uzbiks.
Again I Like to mention that POSTING THESE FAKE IMAGES DOESN’T MEANS THAT MUSLIMS ARE NOT KILLED IN BURMA, THE ONLY REASON OF SHARING THOSE IMAGES IS TO SHOW HOW SOCIAL MEDIA AND POLITICAL PARTIES ARE MANIPULATING IMAGES.

Mr Zarni and DVB,What are you doing?


The hell hog is at large, this time positioning for $$s, clients and patrons for power

In the midst of Buddhist monks and men and women of different race, religions and socioeconomic ranks peacefully protesting in Mandalay; we hear some noises not from hell hounds but a hell
hog hunger for $$ and power [1].

To give some readers a quick background, there are looming threats for Burma from the western borders of the Burmese nation (Myanmar) posed by yesterday illegal immigrants, today infiltrators and tomorrow invaders who nowadays are trying to steal Northern Arakan, Burmese soil for their co-ethnic and coreligionist brothers across the border. It can only happen over the dead bodies of Burmese patriots but bad news for those invaders is that we Burmese are survivors and we will not give up
without a fight.  One of the patriots are Venerable Wira Thu, the head monk from Ma Soe Yein, Burmese version of Westminster Church.

As a Burmese, I do not see any problem for monks going around Mandalay chanting and showing their concern and love for citizens. In my opinion, protesters are expressing rightful concerns about the future of Burmese state and fates of Burmese. In fact, for Buddhist monks, they can be indifferent as their occupational demand of monkshood, similar to Catholic priesthood, will leave no offspring behind. But for they are patriots, for they are showing their love for us, their care for us, Burmese and ethnic and religious minorities who live in this country.

For our children to live, for them to study, work and live peacefully, to rise their families, to enjoy the security, Burmese have no choice but to screen and select who are real Burmese citizens and who are illegals from Bangladesh – a sinking country that is one third of the size of Burma for its population three or four times of Burma.

Burmese citizens, like people everywhere, have rights to accept and reject who are citizens and who are not. Our positions have been very clear, Burmese government has agreed and honored their agreement that refugees who can prove their citizenships will be accepted back into Burma. However, it is not
impossible for a poor country like Burma to bear the burden of Bangladeshi population crisis. Therefore while Burma has every rights to protect own citizens, protect the sovereign, what the monks have been doing these days not only proves that Burma is reforming, citizens are practicing their democratic rights expressing their citizenship rights. It provides the much needed legitimacy for the government led reforms happening in Burmese nation.

However, we are seeing a hell hog (male pig) at large (escaping and messing around or trying to mess around.) It is Maung Zarni, who cannot differentiate state sponsored fascism vs. the lawful and righteous expression of concerns via peaceful protests. Should we remind him that democratic rights are for citizens? We will protect the well being of those guests, Rohingyas (if they like to call themselves) but it does not mean we have to grant them citizenship free for everyone.

There is only one conclusion inevitably can be reached; we can only speculate that he is merely trying to exploit Burmese crisis. By painting this peaceful protest into something politically incorrect, labeling the protests as fascist and racist, he is trying to get the attention of his possible patrons (Rohingyas, INGOs who needs new fresh project ideas to waste the money of tax payers in United States, United Kingdom and western world). Perhaps he is also angling to catch some fish, his future clients such as naive and gullible activists who will support the cause of so called Rohigyas who are mainly Bengali descent. Reading between the lines, whatever he wrote can be summed up as follows:

"Hey guys and girls, Daw Su is bad, she is not on the side of very poor Rohingyas
- I know they kill local Arakan natives, I know they are from Bangladesh, I know the same Bangladeshi illegal immigrants are killing native Bodos in Assam, India,I know they are funded by Wahabis (in fact that made me dripping with sliver for those juicy $$$), I know they fabricated history, I know they are good at acting victims while they are vicious villains, I know monks are peacefully protesting, but who cares as long as I can get some grants $$$$$ - so the real progressive is here Mr. Napoléon, comrade pig as in the George Orwell's "Animal firm". Shower me with dollars, promote me as your bastard in Burma, grant me $$ projects such as educating and enlightening barbarian Burmese with progressive liberal values".

We Burmese, can recognize how it will end, he may get some grants he raved, he may manage to impress right people, he may win the heart of his Rohingyas, may secure the job at the University of Brunei, but we WTN editors can read between and lines and interpret accordingly and in this essay we have expressed our view and we summarized his work in one sentence below:

"The hell hog is at large, now positioning itself for $$s, clients, patrons & power!"

Yours Truly

Dr. Dote Kyee

Report submitted to the president of there public of union of myanmar by maungdaw township communal leaders



by Maungdaw Township Communal Leaders
0.0.1 Preface
This report is written and submitted analyzing the current communal clashes in north western Myanmar. Our objectives are:
1)      To identify the ultimate aims of terrorists who set fire the communal clashes,
2)      To point out preventive activities for the future, and
3)      To establish communal collaborative scheme for sustainable secure conditions.

0.0.2 Current Causes
The clashes inside Rakhine State, rooting on a murder of a national woman by a group of young Muslims in Yambyae Township, are the current causes affecting sovereignty of State. The occurrence in Yambyae, however, came to surface as a criminal law breaking, case. In reality, there are several causes behind the scene through years.

0.0.3 Causes in Reality
There had been four similar causes occurred in the past in Maungdaw as follow:
1)            Muslim –Rakhine  clashes occurred in 1942,
2)            Attempt to homicide in township scale, putting on the mask of democracy on 13th May, 1988,
3)            Attack with 12 bombs in Maungdaw on 24th April, 1994, and
4)            Attempt to homicide in township scale on 8th June, 2012.
Behind the scene of all four above mentioned occurrences, it had been obvious the attempt in timely conspiracy of (i) Muslim terrorists, and (ii) the local under-ground followers of the terrorists under the rule of law or outside law.

0.3.1 Muslim-Rakhine Clashes (1942)
The main cause of all that led to those clashes was the permission of British colonial governors who let Chittagong Bengalis enter into Rakhine State with no investigation, because of promoting agronomics. The conditions were clearly recorded in the post-clashes investigation commission report then. By the time British departure, and Japanese incursion, the local Rakhine residents had to flee in township scale under the anarchic conditions. There were causalities and death in most of the 140 villages under the British reign. Akyab District Gazetteer Vol.b was ruled by a peace committee formed with Bengalis. The peace committee is said to manipulate a portion of sovereignty without any concern. In legal term, it was defiance to sovereignty. The peace committee then turned into a Mujahidin insurgence organization.  They organized as a peace committee on their own without recognizing another one formed by Burma Independent Army (BIA). On 8th June, 1942, about 30 soldiers under the command of Lieutenant Yan Aung's Rakhine State operation of BIA were assassinated by the Bengali-formed peace committee during the process of peace talks. The assassination took place near Maungdaw Kanyindan (now a mosque near the state high school campus) according to "Life in the Commune"(bone-bawa-hmar-phyint) by Thakhin Tin Mya.

0.3.2 Homicide Attempt in Township Scale, Pretending Democracy on 13th May, 1988
The clash was supervised by neighboring country-based RSO insurgent group and executed by local underground followers. Above 50,000 Muslim terrorists entered into the town area by different routes to set fire, rob and/or murder. Since No.2 Battalion (4 Mile campsite) materialized in time and helped to prevent. The groups were to flatten Rakhine villages if Maungdaw was scanned under fire. Their aim was to fill Maungdaw and Buthitaung Townships will full population of Muslims, and to inaugurate a Muslim State. That was a ruthless conspiracy to force immigration of 250,000 Bengali as soon as the raid got successful, and to combine as a portion of Bangladesh (according to the submission by Maungdaw Sanghà Nāyaka, dated 28th September, 1988).
The clashes were wrongly and arrogantly termed as a very debut of pro-democracy movement in Myanmar by Dr. Htun Aung (@ Abdullah) in a public talk held in Kanyindan High School Campus-playground on 6th September, 1988. It was Dr. Htun Aung's claim befor public that their conspiracy, to eliminate Rakhine people in the township, as a pro democracy. The condition was recorded by Bengali insurgents (RSO) from abroad including Dr Unos and AFK Jilani. (The Rohingyas of Arakan, Page-327)

0.3.3 Attack with 12 Bombs in Maungdaw on 24th April, 1994
On the 24th April, 1994, nine bombs were exploded every fifteen minutes during 11:00 PM and 2:30 AM next morning throughout the town. The residents in the town were at chaos condition for security. The Bombing spots were 1) Fire Engine, 2) Thiri Mingalar Hall, 3) Emergency Power Generator for the town, 4) Office of Head of Fishery Department, 5) No.6 Basic Education Primary School in No.1 Quarter, 6) Township General Hospital Staffs' Housing, 7) Township Police Office, 8) Accountant Office, and 9) Municipal Office; except 1) Basic Education High School, 2) Prisons Department Officer's House and 3) Maha Bandhoola Statue in the Park, where the bombs were set, but not exploded. It was found in the records that the mastermind of the bomb attack, and that of the 8th June, 2012 clashes too, is AFK Jilani, who fled into neighboring country as the concerning bodies traces him.

0.3.4 Attempt to homicide in township scale on 8th June, 2012
A group of young Muslims, provoked in the religious praying assembly inside mosques, marched shouting "Jihad, jihad. Bangladesh Jainabad", and tried to kill Rakhine people, fire the houses, and destroyed the properties creating chaos condition after the case in Taungup. The condition occurred such simultaneously in the town and outskirt area that it is obvious a secretly planned one. Their plan also was a subsequent movement of their previous attempts. It happened to give them chance to launch their actions again. Although the clashes in Taungup and Yanbyae seemed suddenly appeared, those are part of the result of abroad trained Burma Campaign program. Thus the current crisis is not only a one between Muslims and Rakhines, but a challenge to the sovereignty of Myanmar. Therefore it correlates to the whole Myanmar nationalities, and become a national call.


0.4.0 Underground Movements
0.4.1 Alae Thankyaw Conference
Here, the term "underground movements" means the movements by Chittagong Bengalis under or outside the rule of law. Under the rule of law, it includes the attempts by members of parliaments, and social and religious groups to win the proposal of designing Butheetaung, Maungdaw, and Yathaetaung Townships as an autonomous region; an exemplary case is "Charter of the Constitutional Demands of the Arakani Muslims", of which Alae Thankyaw Conference in southern Maungdaw Township, held in June 1951, called for fourteen issues including (1) recognizing a Muslim region in the northern Rakhine State just like Shan State, and Karen State and establishing Provincial Armies, Police Forces, and Security forces, (2) assigning a Muslim Minister who will represent the Northern Muslim State in the federal government, (3) pledging employment of Muslim a proper portion in permanent military forces, temporary military forces, police forces, educational offices, judiciary offices and in the central government agencies, (4) permission to open Islamic schools and universities where Arabic literature and Islamic culture will be taught, Urdu language will be facilitating language from primary level to secondary level education, but no other literature and language will not be taught by force without their consent.

0.4.2 Rohingya[1]: Deliberately Invented Ethnicity
Moreover, Abdul Gafa, Member of Parliament representing Butheetaung Township and Tahi Ba Thar wrote a few deceiving articles that show Bengalis in Myanmar are Myanmar citizens, called Rohingyas. Muslim elites who named themselves as Rohingyas set off to different places in Maungdaw and Butheetaung Townships, lobbying Muslim people to use the racial term as Rakhine Muslim or Rohingya instead of Bengali. (Influx Viruses: The Illegal Muslims in Arakan by U Shwe Zan, published by Arakanese in United States, 2005, P-47) They enforced the people to ask filling the term Rakhine Muslims or Rohingya. That was an incident they pushed the people to invent a new ethnicity taking the opportunity of high share of demography in those two townships. At the same time, organizations and social groups for Rohingya were formed. Rohingya Solidarity Organization (established in 1956) and Rohingya Youth Association had branches in Butheetaung and Maungdaw Townships. In 1960, groups with the names of Rohingya Students Association, Rohingya Labor Association, Rohingya University Students Association, and Rohingya Jamiad Al Umar were formed. Those groups became the resources for further movements. There are armed insurgent groups, sprouted from those groups were:
1)      Rohingya Solidarity Organization (RSO)
2)      Arakan Rohingya National Organization (ARNO)
3)      Rohingya Patriotic Front (RPF)
4)      Arakan Rohingya Islamic Front (ARIF)
5)      Rohingya Liberation Organization (RLO).
Those groups go against not only governments in Myanmar through time, but also the community through generations.

0.4.3 A Statement by ARNO
"The rule of military junta is always trying to uproot the reality of Muslims in Rakhine State. By means of overhauling Muslim historical articles, wiping out all the Muslim culture with ancient remains, mosques, Madrassa religious schools, monuments and burial places. The government's effort is to cleanse our religious and nationality." It was as written in Article 8 (Page-17) of Manifesto of Arakan Rohingya National Organization (ARNO).

0.4.4 Establishing a New Muslim Country Out of Myanmar Sovereignty
The Chittagong Bengali Muslims were trying to combine Maungdaw and Butheetaung Townships to East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) since pre-independence of Myanmar. While the Chittagong Muslims were trying to form a state, the Muslims in India insisted British government to found a separate Muslim country i.e. Pakistan. The movement to build a separate Muslim country had impacts on Maungdaw and Butheetaung townships. The condition of high share of Muslims in those two township's demography leads to combine to Pakistan in its founding condition. Muslim elites from Maungdaw performed for that cause secretly. Since Rakhine leaders detected the condition, it was reported to General Aung San. At that time, General Aung San is preparing to visit London, concerning independence of Myanmar, along with the invitation of British Prime Minister Atlee. U Kyaw Hla Oo, a president of AFPLO (Minpya Township), recorded, "A group of Muslims in Maungdaw have close relation with those in Bangladesh. The plan to combine Maungdaw and Butheetaung townships to forthcoming independence of Pakistan was informed to General Aung San. In his way to London, General Aung San went to see Mr. Jinnah in Karachi, and discussed the case. Mr Jinnah made a response announcing that Pakistan will never try to hold any part of Myanmar, and will be a good neighbor to Myanmar". (Arakan: As She is Known and Discovered by Kyaw Hla Oo, unpublished typographic copy) According to the personal experience, it is clear that Muslim elites in Maungdaw tried to combine Maungdaw and Butheetaung Townships into East Pakistan before the independence of Myanmar.
Moshe Yegar, a researcher, recorded that Mr. Jinnah pledged General Aung San that he will not support the idea of Muslims in Maungdaw, as follow:
"Muslims hoped to detach Maungdaw from Myanmar. Their idea was to found a separate Muslim country or to combine Pakistan on the land between Kaladan River and Mayu River. Such an idea was presented to Mr Jinnah in May, 1946. They asked for the support from Pakistan for their purpose. Two months later, Northern Rakhine Muslim League was formed in Sittwe. The league also call for the same idea. But Mr. Jinnah guaranteed General Aung San that he will not go for it." (The Muslims of Burma by Moshe Yegar, Page- 86-87)

0.4.5 Jihad by Mujahid
While Muslim elites under the rule of law performed as shown secretly, Mujahids from Chittagong, who were out of the rule of law, called for a religious war (Jihad) to Myanmar. Insurgence of Mujahids has been since before the independence of Myanmar. That was the embryo of Maungdaw based Jamia Tul Ulema. (It originally was Peace Committee, but when the Japanese Fascist Government dissolved Peace Committee, it was reorganized as Jamia Tul Ulema.)
In Butheetaung and Maungdaw townships, Mujahidin disturbed in resettling the war refugees in various ways. They drove out the residential Rakhine people by force. So the driven Rakhine people from Butheetaung Township moved to townships in southern Rakhine as internally displaced persons (IDP). Likewise, Rakhines from Maungdaw Township had to flee into Dinajpur, east Bangladesh. After Second World War (WWII), those displaced persons were not able to go back to their native places because of the fear from Mujahidin.

0.4.6 Sound Evidences from Diplomatic Records in London National Museum[2]
"This happened due to the shootings with machine guns by Muslims near the village." (Report submitted to Rakhine State Commissioner, dated 18th April, 1947) In August, 1947, Maungdaw District Deputy Officer U Tun Oo was murdered cruelly by Muslims. It was recorded by Rakhine State Commissioner, "I have no doubt that this is a consequence of prejudice of a group of people who were provoked to a measure of time. I have seriously suspected that the murderers were directed by Muslim police officers. The murderers held strong and radical Muslim ideologies, and influenced the whole region. The incidents are a kind of challenge bluntly to the officials of Myanmar government by Muslims in Butheetaung and Maungdaw Townships. Those Muslims were supported to immigrate during British rule for the sake of the economy of the country. If those disregards were not decisively controlled, those foreigners will either try to combine Butheetaung and Maungdaw Townships to Pakistan or lobby Pakistan to do so." (Rakhine State Commissioner's Monthly Report (August) dated 13th September, 1947)
There was an irony of Government of the Republic of Myanmar as Yangon Government after the independence in 1948. At that time, the government could send just not more than 200 soldiers from No.5 Battalion to suppress the Mujahids. Although Butheetaung and Maungdaw Townships were under control of the forces sent by government, the outskirt areas were controlled by Mujahidin insurgence. Concerning to the aims of Mujahids, British Embassy in Yangon reported to Foreign Affair office in London, dating 12th February, 1949, as follow:
"It is hard to say the ultimate aim of Mujahid is whether or not to let the region under federation. However, if it were a federal state in Myanmar, it will tend to combine to Pakistan. Mujahids are believed to be equipped since last October. Some of them predicted the aimed will be achieved not by arm struggle, but even by lobbying. The Mujahid Force may have 500 in number. The number supporting the force may be even much more than that." (Letter Sent to Foreign Affair Office in London from British Embassy (Yangon), dated 12th February 1949.)
In a report, there expressed the details of arrival of Prime Minister U Nu and General Smith Dun to Sittwe in October, 1948. The arrival shows that there were trans-border supports including information and aids to insurgents. What definitely inquired were: Mujahid insurgent leaders Jaffar Meah and Omra Meah hided in Bathkhali, a village on borderline with Pakistan; Deputy District Officer and Township Officer of Cox's Bazaar supported the insurgents with weapons and equipments, and let healing the wounded insurgents in the Hospital of Cox's Bazaar. (Chittagong Mountain Region Deputy Commissioner's Report, dated 7th February, 1949.)
On 28th February, 1949, British Embassy in Yangon sent a confidential letter to High Commissioner of UK in Pakistan. The letter described about the potentials of provocations and annoyances to Myanmar by local Pakistani officials as follow:
"Although Pakistan central government has the right attitude, we gather the information that local officers (especially in Cox's Bazaar) actively support Muslim insurgents. It is understood that High Commissioner can see the Pakistani district officers support insurgents. Government of Pakistan also understands in the same way. If the deeds of the officers were not controlled and stopped, it will proceed to anti-Muslim clashes in Sittwe district. Hence, the clashes will be unpleasant as the clashes during second world war (WWII)." (Chittagong Mountain Region Deputy Commissioner's Report, dated 7th February, 1949.) The financial source for Mujahid party was illegal rice trafficking from Rakhine to East Pakistan. As Myanmar government banned rice trafficking, Mujahid had a strategy to break outlaw. Rice trafficking is one of their strategies. In the trafficking process, there includes two Muslim leaders, Sultan Ahmed and Omra Meah. (Ibid)
The main objective of Mujahid insurgence was to combine western Myanmar region into East Pakistan. The deed by Mujahids was reported in The Hindustan Standard paper, issued on 18th May, 1949, as follow:
"The dangerous tendency of this attack takes aspect to international concern. Muslim insurgents hold Pakistan flag. They claimed to combine western Rakhine State into Pakistan. The weapons were suspected to be carried through border. A great deal of Muslims here means Pakistan citizen from Chittagong. Though they descended from a generation ago, 800,000 out of 1,300,000 are holding Pakistan nationality." (This reportage was attached as a newspaper scrap, to Decca Vice Commissioner's Report (No#21), dating 28th May, 1949.)
"The guerilla attacks of Muslim is not to rebel Myanmar government, but to provoke Rakhine by means of mob. It was since the Buddhist-Muslim clash (or Muslim-Rakhine clash). The Muslims whose origin was from Chittagong, now under the rule of Pakistan, is afraid of bullying by Rakhine people. On the other hand, Rakhine people not more than a million in population are afraid of the bombing population of Chittagongs to swallow their ethnicity." (Chittagong Mountain Region Deputy Commissioner's Report, dated 7th February, 1949.)
Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, Foreign Minister of Pakistan came to Myanmar in 18th-21st January, 1964, and made an announcement. There expressed:
“There are 400,000 Muslim people settle in Rakhine State, which is neighboring East Pakistan. They settled there for generations. However they are obvious to know as Pakistan origin. Frequently, the Pakistanis illegally immigrated into Rakhine State, and mixed up with the people settled before. Local Myanmar authorities handle very brutally in investigating these illegal migrants. For Pakistan Government, it should not be done to those Rakhine Muslims to immigrate back into East Pakistan. East Pakistan is not in a situation to support for the migrated refugees. Mr. Bhutto urged Myanmar Government to amend the attitude on those people, and is ready to solve the problem, in all measure, with respect to legal immigration. Mr. Bhutto expressed Myanmar government is believed to solve the Muslim problem with mercy, and Pakistan pledges to collaborate in all possible measure, applying good neighbor relationship.” (Discussion of Myanmar Foreign Affair Minister U Thi Han and Pakistan Foreign Minister Ali Bhutto, during his visit in 18th-21st January, 1964.)
“Mr. Kaizar, UN Ambassador of Bangladesh, confessed that there are over half a million migrants illegally settling in Rakhine State; Myanmar Government has the right to expel them. However he appealed Myanmar Government not to put pressure for Bangladesh is now in struggle.” (National Museum (London), File No.15/2014-C 384097)

0.4.7 Analysis
According to the mentioned evidences, especially the Diplomatic correspondence records in London Museum, it is founded that most of the Muslim people in Rakhine State were originally from Chittagong, and they were always attempts to get autonomy as a Muslim State or to combine to East Pakistan (now Bangladesh). When their plans were unsuccessful, they approached to the local authorities to lobby or to achieve their goal in any way. While U Nu served as a Prime Minister, they asked for designing Mayu District and cleverly swayed from the governance and rule of law. However Mujahidin insurgents went on underground trickily. Muslim people and members of parliament were found obviously gripped their major aim of erasing any Myanmar nationality in Mayu District.
All four attempts undoubtedly indicate their aim of (1) fulfilling full percentage Muslim population with full autonomy from west bank of Kaladan River to the east bank of Nat River, and (2) exclusion of the region as a whole. In the fourth attempt occurred in Yanbyae and Taungkok, demolishing the whole township is more than a clash between Buddhists and Muslims, or Rakhine and Bengali; it actually is believed to be a test to sovereignty. Only believing so can facilitate the strategies further. If the depth, scope, and focus of the problem were underestimated, the solution will not be in a proper manner, and the problem would lead to consume more force. All four attempts described in Section 0.0.3 takes the tendency of international concern as mentioned in Section 0.4.6. It is:
(1)  to genocide residential ethnic people (so called Kuffar or Infidel by them) wearing the mask of Human Rights,
(2)  to establish a separated region for 100% Muslim population if the genocide is fully implemented and the local communal people fled from their lands,
(3)  to establish the western Area of Kaladan River as a separated Muslim State by highlighting weak governance in the region to take international community’s interest, and by using the pressure of international community, and
(4)  to create armed disputes and tensions with neighboring Bangladesh; and to create opportunities for arm, financial and spiritual supports from Muslim world and Muslim terrorist organizations (eg. Al Qaeda) and interventions. (There were reportages which record the Muslim terrorists’ stimulation claiming “Muslims face genocide”, “Revenge!” targeting at Rakhines in Bangladesh, and to mess the situations up.)
(5)  The head office of ARNO, a foreign based, and armed insurgentce group of Rohingya, is opened in No. 30, Jumakah St, Jumakah Quarter, Chittagong, Bangladesh. Their military bases are Zai Lar Saw Ri Head Quarter Camp Map Reference (PG-2916), Daw-Maw Sri Camp Map Reference (PG-0537), and Kyar Laung Yaik Camp Map Reference. Chief of ARNO is Nurul Islam, an exile from Rakhine State. Leaders of ARNO were reported to attend the senior courses arranged by Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda. (according to 02 Rangoon 1301: Relation of Rhhingya and Al Qaeda as said by Wikileaks, by James Mmt, posted online in 20th October, 2010, interpreting the record of American Embassy in Yangon)
(6)  In Rohingya Hoax, written by Maung Tha Hla, it said “Rohingyas, in fact Mujahids persuading general public for the sake of separatist movements, seriously claimed that they fought for political opportunity to establish a separate, independent country in northwestern Myanmar and to call for their citizenship. Behind those claims, it was just performing for their benefit as if a international political concern”. ()Rohingya Hoax by Maung Tha Hla, New York (2009), Page-67)
(7)  On 14th June, 2012, an announcement from Al Qaeda, a warning to Myanmar government, was posted on Facebook pages. The issues stated in the announcements were not a surprise, but there were many questions why Al Qaeda needed to interrupt. It stated a challenge that ‘(Myanmar) is warned to face endless series of war’. The announcement ended in such a dare statement that ‘we (Al Qaeda) will not accept any explanation’, signed by a Sunni Islam religious leader.
The analyses mentioned above are made and summarized by the sufferings communal peoples, and experiences shared on international media.


0.5.0 Conclusion
We all the communal people of diverse ethnic groups including Mro, Thet, Khami, Dinenet, Rakhine, and Myanmar in Maungdaw, Butheedaung and Yathaedaund townships were living our lives peacefully in the rules of changing Myanmar governments up to present, but we obey laws and orders dictated for the sake of our security entrusting to eternity. Under the rules of different governments, we experienced difficulties, and will have to. On northwestern borderline region, the majority in population of Chittagong-origin Bengali Muslims took upper hand on us by bullying, robbery, thefts, rape to our ladies, and murders similarly as slaughters by means of inhumanly slicing the body organs, just like those under the spell of a curse. (See more in Appendix.[3]) It means that we, the communal people are surviving not only on a range of physical threats and insecurity, but also the trauma or psychological anxiety and fears. Living on our motherland as scapegoats, we long suffered the pressure exerted by intruders who are drugging us down to hell. However, we hold the view of 'we will better survive until a noble death'; gripping 'two noble things of nationality and morality', and will remain steadfast with no complaint to the spirit of unionism, taking the oath of no surrender to them. We vow to sacrifice ourselves as a human-shield for the sake our union. We are ready to protect our nationality, religion and union with spiritual strength.
Hereby, we strongly recommend the State to take action, which will bring a measure of help and support to the communal people, according to Article 20(e) of the Constitution of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar.

0.5.1 Recommendations
(1) To take systematic, precise and effective actions with more means than ever to protect illegal immigration of Bengali Muslims,
(2) To perform punishment along with enacted immigration law, acts and schemes over legally migrated Bengali Muslims to prevent them from further misdeeds,
(3) To make public of precise warning and announcements to so called Rohingya,
(4) To relocate them in proper places such as remote archipelagos or mountainous regions to stretch their population density out; or to create enclosed area for them by maintaining walls, if necessary, in remote areas from ethnic nationalities.
(5) To make settlements for ethnic nationalities in new villages to reduce the gap of comparative population densities in Maungdaw and Butheedaung townships,
(6) To enhance the sustainability and development of those newly formed villages, offering incentives of livelihood, and educational and economic needs as a government led scheme,
(7)  To station troops protecting the communal people dwelling in those villages,
(8) or To form militia with communal people to protect borderline areas, under the organization of Tammadaw ,
(9) To enact laws to welcome, and to offer settlement to Buddhist refugees in Bangladesh,
(10) To exercise law enforcement and effective punishments on corrupted public servants in various levels of immigration departments,
(11) To provide restrictions on the unmovable assets such as farms against non-ethnic people, and to monitor the procedures every six months,
(12) To scrutinize the nationality of all Muslims in Myanmar, whether they hold a National Registration Identity Card or not, and to set a state policy to send him/her to his/her country of origin or to a third country if a non-citizen Muslim is found,
(13) To exercise close supervision on INGO's including UNHCR branch office with programs and projects favoring Muslims, opened in Butheedaung and Maungdaw townships. (Firstly, it is because Peter Nicolaus, a Senior Repatriation Officer in UNHCR, increased the tension of Muslim Problem in Myanmar by writing a paper, titled unknown. Secondly, certain Muslim leaders in Butheedaung and Maungdaw townships used devices of telecommunication from UNHCR branch office and certain INGO's and they communicate each other and to launch false information on international media.)
(14) To exercise law enforcement on Monogamy and One-Child policy to Bengalis, which was already set by Borderline Immigration Monitoring Department than ever, and to penalize or set exile for those who violate,
(15) To stop travel and settling of Bengalis in Rakhine State into other areas of our country, and to take serious action on the government officials who corrupted to let them do. (This must not contradict to Recommendation No.4.)
(16) To inform the party members of strong political parties such as Union Solidarity and Development Party, and National League for Democracy about the infiltration as Rohingya party members to meddle in domestic politics in the meantime of Myanmar's emerging transition to democracy.

[1] Professor Qanlungo said that 'Rohang' is a word for Rakhine people, used by Bengali Muslims, during AD 8th Centaury and AD 18th Century. (A History of Chittagone (Vol-1) by Dr. Bhushan Qanlungo, Published 1988, Page-232) Into that name, Ya was added as a suffix, tending to mean Rakhine Ethnicity (Rakhine-tha) It created the delusion that it was their own term and consistent with the Human Rights . However the reason why Rakhine people objected the term is that Rohang was simply a name just for Rakhine along the history. It is important to understand that the term 'Rohang' was stolen from the ordinary owners, violating UDHR 29.2 delibrately.
