Briefly explanation

The ethnic conflicts of Rakhaing (Arakanese), Chittagonian Bengali settler So-called

( Rohingya) and Burmese Chauvinism

By Aung Myat Soe

Arakanese and Burmese junta know that Bengali settlers so called (Rohingyas) are illegallyimmigrated. The natives cannot bear and tolerate the burden of their illegal immigration to

Rakhing land (Arakan) nowadays known as the Rakhaing state of Burma. It is in the

violation of our constitution because the radical Islamic groups are trying to rob Rakhaing

State ( Arakan) and Islamize it.

Origin

Rakhaing Pray( Arakan)

According to the Rakhaing chronicles, the first Rakhaing (Arakanese) kindom was established in

3 325 BC by King Marayu (Rakhaing) Buddhism was introduced into Rakhaing during the

lifetime of Buddha himself. Buddha in his lifetime visited the city of Dhanyawadi (Grainblessed) in 554 BC. The Rakhaing King Sandar Surya (Sun Moon) requested Buddha to leave the

image of him. It has been still spoken and recorded that (Great Sage) Buddha breathed upon it

which resembled the exact likeness of the Blessed One, after casting the Great Image Mahamuni.

The proof of document following image-

Rakhaing (Arakan) people are of Mongoloid race and Buddhists.

population explosion in Bangladesh, the problem of food shortages because of semi-annualdevastated cyclones. Bangladesh had one of the highest rates of population growth in the world

and every year, thousands are killed in Bangladesh by floods or storms. They always have food

shortage because of the natural catastrophes therefore they have been crossing other countries

border illegally and searching for new places. It is documented and recorded Rakhaing land and

other countries.

The Invented History of Rohingyas

They claimed that the first Rohingyas people arrived in Burma as early as 7 th century. These early

migrants were known to be Arab sailors and merchants who traveled to Burma for economicpursuits. There Muslim settlers came to Burma in a total of three waves: from 7

thto 13 century.

However, Maurice Collis, on the other hand, wrote: Bengal was absorbed into this polity, (that

is, Islam) in 1203 A.D. But it was its extreme eastern limit. It never passed into Indo-china; and

its influence from its arrival in 1203 till 1430 was negligible upon Arakan. (Source: M. Collis,

Arakans place in the civilization of the Bay, Journal of Burma research Society, Volume XXIII,

p, 493

Arakanese and Burmese junta know that they immigrated illegally, besides most of them are

headed by Islamists to Islamize Arakan first and then the whole of Burma step by step.. Bengalisettlers headed by radical religious group cant proof any evidence of support that they are people

of Arakan. They neither speak Arakanese nor Burmese. The only language they can speak is

Chittagong Bengali. It is proven that they are not from our country.

Burmese

The Bamar or Burmese also called Burman) are the dominant ethnic group of Burma(Myanmar), constituting approximately two-thirds of the population. The Bamar live primarily in

the Irrawaddy basin, and speak the Burmese language, which is also the official language of

Burma. Bamar customs and identity are closely intertwined with general Burmese customs and

identity. The Bamar are frequently, imprecisely called Burmese although the term in modernusage refers to a citizen of Burma of any ethnic background.

According to chronicle, Burmese King Anawratha unsuccessfully invaded into Arakan in

1050 AD.Burmese King Min Khaung successfully invaded into Arakan in 1406 AD.

Burmese King Tabin Shwehtee and Bayin Naung invaded three times in 16th century but

all were unsuccessful. They invasions were repelled by Arakanese King Mum Ba Gree in

1546 AD and their later invasions too were crushed by Mum Raza Gree. In 1784, the

invasion of Burmese King Maung Waing was successful. Burmese occupied Arakan and

killed ten of thousands of innocent people of Arakn in 1784-1824. The reason of occupations

was to snatch the holy image Maha Muni and to make Arakan a Burmese colony.

Bengali settler or So-called Rohigya

Their cultures and religious are as same as Chittagong Bengali. They were induced by the Bengali

chapter of the Jamaat-I-Ullah (the world community of Muslims) to emigrate into the Union ofBurma. Bengalis settler crossed the border easily because the border line is poorly guarded. The

Muslim congress of Pakistan called Mujtahids (God fighter) for armed struggle in Burma. Theywere trained and equipped by Pakistan. In june 1951 an open letter was published detailing the

constitutional demands adopted at the Muslims conference which was held at Alethangyaw, The

Maungdaw townships.

Their demands were: To establish immediately a free Muslim state in the status of a

condominium, for the muslim minority in northern Rakhaing state, separated from the Buddhist

Rakhaing majority in the south, with its own defense force, police, security units;To accord the Muslims state the same status as extended to chin, the Kachin, the Shan , and the

Karen states, with the right of proportionate representation on the constituent assembly and upper

chamber of legislature;

To appoint a Muslim representative from northern Rakhaing state as the Muslim Affairs Ministerin the government of the Union of Burma;

Etc

The Mujtahid raped, robbed, and killed Rakhaing people in the village of northern Rakhaing

state. Mujtahid ambushed to Burmese border guards while patroling. At the emergency of

contemporary Islamic fundamentalism, they assumed using Rohingya.

Quoted from U Tha Hla (Rakhaing)

If you want to see their cultures and religious detail, please visit Bangladesh web site.

Major issue and revolution

Rakhaing ( Arakan) has two kinds of enemies which are Bengali

settler so called Rohigya and Burmese Chauvinism. Rakhaing has

been protecting Rakhaing land from radical Muslim Bengali settler

and trying to get back independence from Burmese Chauvinism.

Burmese government or chauvinism is against the Rakhaing

political movement and revolution, which indirectly helps radical

Muslim terrorist groups plans to Islamize Arakan.

Bengali settlers So-called Rohingyas still distributing falsehistory and brain washing their generation with radical religious

ideologies but they are acting like supporters of the Burmese

democracy movement and fighters for that movement.

They will approach UN to get ethnic rights in Burma. After that

they will be making Myanmar a Muslim country.

SUBJECT: ARAKAN ROHINGYA NATIONAL ORGANIZATION CONTACTSWITH AL QAEDA AND WITH BURMESE INSURGENT GROUPS ON THE THAI

BORDER

Classified By: COM CARMEN M. MARTINEZ; REASON 1.5(D).

1. (C) Summary: Under pressure from Bangladesh, the Arakan Rohingya National Organization

(ARNO) contacted the Karenni National Progressive Party in late August 2002 regarding the

possibility of relocating its bases to KNPP-controlled territory on the border between Thailandand Burma. According to a report prepared by Burmese military intelligence, ARNO also sought

membership in the Democratic Alliance of Burma, a loose confederation of Burmese insurgent

groups now operating on the Thai/Burmese border. KNPP reportedly refused ARNO's request.

The DAB also rejected ARNO's application for membership, but has forged a "military alliance"with ARNO, according to the paper. The Burmese also report that ARNO's Chairman Nurul

Islam, has received a U.S. visa and is en route to the United States via Saudi Arabia. The facts in

the Burmese paper appear plausible. Its purpose is probably to draw a connection between Al

Qaeda, which has supported ARNO, and Burmese insurgent groups active on the Thai border.

End Summary.

2. (C) The following are edited excerpts from a Burmese military intelligence report on the

Arakan Rohingya National Organization. It was given to us on October 7 by Brigadier General

Kyaw Thein, ostensibly to clarify recent news reports alleging connections between Al Qaeda andARNO forces based in Burma. According to Kyaw Thein, there are links between ARNO and Al

Qaeda, but all of ARNO's bases are in southeast Bangladesh.

3.(C) Begin text: Arakan Rohingya National Organization (ARNO) -- Its Historical Background

& Latest Situation (Sept, 2002) Historical Background Muslim Terrorist-Insurrection groups such

as the Rohingya Solidarity Organization (RSO), Arakan Rohingya Islamic Front (ARIF) and Hak

Kavt group combined and established the Rohingya National Council (RNC) on 28 October,

1998. The RNC was then reorganized as the Arakan Rohingya National Council (ARNC). The

Rohingya Liberation Army (RLA) was also formed by combining all the armed insurgents of the

groups.The Arakan Rohingya National Organization was formed to organize all the different

Rohingya insurgents into one group under pressure from Muslim groups outside Burma.

Organization of ARNO

The headquarters of ARNO was opened at No. (30 Ju-ma-khar street, Ju-ma-khar ward,Chittagong in Bangladesh. Their camps are based at Zai-Lar-Saw-Ri HQ camp--map reference

Meeting of Five Members of ARNO with Taliban leader Osama Bin Laden

Five members (names still under inquiry by the GOB) of ARNO attended a high-rankingofficers' course with Al Qaeda representatives on 15 May, 2000 and arrived back in Bangladesh

on 22 June. During the course, they discussed matters relating to political and military affairs,

arms and ammunition, and financing with Osama Bin Laden. Mohamed Arju Taida and

Mohamed Rau-Sheik Ar-Mar Darsi from the Taliban were present with them at the meeting.Ninety members of ARNO were selected to attend a guerrilla warfare course, a variety of

explosives courses and heavy-weapons courses held in Libya and Afghanistan in August, 2001.

Thirteen out of these selected members participated in the explosives and heavy-weapons

training.

Arrival of Two Taliban at ARNO Headquarters

Al Ha-Saud and Al Ja-hid, two members of Taliban group, arrived at ARNO's headquarters in

Zai-La-Saw-Ri Camp on 2 November, 2001 from the Rohingya Solidarity Organization's (RSO)

Kann-Grat-Chaung camp. They met with Nur Islam (Chairman), ZaFaur-Ahmed (Secretary) andFayos Ahmed (acting Chief-of-Staff Army), ARNO, and discussed the reorganization of RSO and

ARNO. It was learned that ARNO/RSO and Taliban groups planned to hold a meeting on 15

November, 2001. Nur Islam, Chairman of ARNO, also declared that the Arakan Rohingya

Islamic Front (ARIF) and the Rohingya Solidarity Organization (RSO) had agreed to reorganize

as integrated members of ARNO. However, Mullah Dil-Mar from RSO did not agree with this re-

organization and resigned with his entourage of insurgents.

Foreign Correspondents Arrived at ARNO Headquarters

Ban-Draban correspondent from Bangladesh, Ha-Saud-Ahmed and two foreign correspondents

(still under inquiry by GOB) went to ARNO's headquarters at the Zai-La-Saw-Ri Camp and met

with the acting Camp Commander who was Chief-of-Staff Army Salein. They inquired about the

following data.

(a) Day, Month and Year of establishment of ARNO organization.(b) Attitude and objective.

(c) The year the ARNO had departed from Myanmar.

(d) Present strength of forces and fighters.

(e) Types of Arms and Quantity.

(f) Is it to build Rakhine as a separate and an independent

(State/Nation) or to ask for Democracy?

(g) List of Anti-Myanmar groups in Bangladesh.

(h) Muslim organizations and Non-Muslim organizations in

Bangladesh to be separately identified.

(i) Necessary funding and funding countries.

(j) The present financial situation.

Vice Chairman of ARNO Fayos Ahmed's Meeting with InsurgentLeaders based and active in Thailand Fayos Ahmed, Vice-Chairman of ARNO, along with U

Maung Lu Gyi from NUPA (National Unity Party of Arakan), arrived in Bangkok from

Bangladesh on 27 August, 2002 and proceeded to Chiang Mai. Then, through the Burma Border

Consortium, including the help of an English woman named Mrs. Pippa Curwen, wife of DABAye Saung, they talked with the leaders of KNPP (Karenni National Progress Party) -- Aung

Than Lay (Vice Chairman), Raymond Htoo (General Secretary), U Khu-Ral (joint General

Secretary) and Aung Myat (Chief of Staff - Army). Fayos Ahmed said that ARNO had been told

to leave Bangladesh by the Bangladesh authorities and that it was difficult for them to continue in

Bangladesh. He also mentioned that the USA and other various organizations were continuouslywatching them on account of assumed contacts with the Al-Qaeda group. So he asked for a camp

to be opened in a suitable place in the area of KNPP, in as much as Thailand was the most

suitable country for them. Then Fayos Ahmed met with Mai-Aik-Hpone, Secretary of Pa-Laung

State Liberation Front (PSLF), Khun-Okkar, Chairman of Pa-O People Liberation Organization

(PPLO) and Aye Maung from the Lahu national group. In addition, he discussed the ARNO's

critical situation with Chiang Mai-based VOA, BBC and RFA news media, NGOs in Thailandand Shwe-Kharr of the Chin National Front (CNF). He proceeded from Chiang Mai to Mae Sod

on 5 September and talked with Bo Mya (Vice-Chairman), Pado Man-Sha (General Secretary)

and Tar-Ma-La-Baw at KNU headquarters. Fayos Ahmed discussed with KNU the above

mentioned matters and the possibility of ARNO's becoming a member of DAB. Application for amembership in DAB by ARNO was not granted on the objection of Aung Sein Tha from

Democratic Party of Arakan (DPA) and Khaing Soe Aung from Arakan Liberation Party (ALP).

Both Khaing Soe Aung and Aung Sein Tha bitterly rejected the proposal on the grounds that the

Rohingya were not indigenous to Rakhine State and that they could not accept them at all as

ethnic people. Though DAB has not granted the membership to ARNO, it has made a military

alliance with ARNO. According to Fayos Ahmed, ARNO Military-in-Charge, Salem Ulah, had

contacts with Al-Qaeda and some members of ARNO forces were arrested when they were sent

to join the Taliban in Afghanistan and attacked the Americans. These ARNO forces were sent toAfghanistan along with Rohingya groups in Karachi, Pakistan. Rohingya groups are in many

countries like Pakistan, India, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, UAE, Palestine and Australia. Chairman

Nurul Islam has received an American visa and departed for Saudi Arabia from Bangladesh, with

an intent to reside in Saudi Arabia for a short period and then depart for the United States. Fayos

Ahmed, during his short stay in Thailand, met with Dr. Allen from NCGUB Foreign Affairs

Department, David Htaw from KNU and David Smile from Burma Lawyer Council (BLC). He

went to Thailand as an editor of a news media and returned to Bangladesh on 12 September.

Investigation of Members of Rohingya Jihad Caught in Singapore Hanbali and Baasyia are

leaders of Jemaah Islamiyah (JI)-organized Rabitatul Mujahideen group which was involved in

the whole region as a Muslim organization. Through contacts with Muslim groups in the region,

active cooperation was achieved in matters of training, weapons-buying, financing, exchange of

information and terrorist military operations. The other organizations which cooperated wereGerakan Aceh Merdeka (GAM), two organizations in Southern Thailand and Rakhine and

Rohingya terrorist-insurgents in Myanmar. ARNO has established a contact with Al-Qaeda and

five Central Committee members of ARNO paid a visit to Afghanistan in April, 2001. Besides,

ARNO has also cooperated with Republic of Islam Aceh (RIA) and Egyptian Jammah Jihad

Mesir (JJM). It is believed that there exists a small community of Rohingya's in Patuwat,

Malaysia.

Comment

4. (C) The Burmese report has enough specificity to make it generally plausible. The

Government of Bangladesh advised ARNO in May that it had to clear out of its bases in

southeastern Bangladesh and, shortly thereafter, 195 members of the Arakan Army turned

themselves in to the Burmese. As yet, ARNO has not moved from Bangladesh. According to theBurmese, ARNO and RSO together still maintain eight bases in Bangladesh. If the Burmese

report is correct, however, they are looking for a new base of operations.

5. (C) The Burmese view all these groups as terrorists. Their purpose in giving us this report is to

make sure we are aware of the alleged contacts between ARNO and the Burmese insurgentgroups on the Thai border. Presumably, they hope to bolster relations with the United States by

getting credit for cooperation on the CT front. End Summary.
