Arakan Voice (AV)

Magnificent #Arakan . The land of heroes, the land of old temples , the land where Buddhism sprouts and flourishes. Come to visit Arakan when the war is over to feel our heart , our smiles and our spirit. @UN @elonmusk @AJEnglish @BBCNews @BBCNews @FortifyRights @CNN @TwanMrat

#Murderers , rapists alert !! This Myanmar soldier in pic openly talks how he would kill and rape the civilians as they reoccupied sone regions in Chin State #Myanmar . Myanmar committed considerable amounts of rapes against Arakanese women during their retreat. @UNGeneva @cnni

@Saber13542381 @UNGeneva @UN @FoxNews @cnni It’s how thing work . None of the UN propagandists who taking advantage of unstable of Arakan are now gone as Arakan Arny administrating its land . We need the UN with credibility and integrity.

@AM25360438 @UNGeneva @UN @FoxNews @cnni Rakhine, who protests against UN human rights, Now the same people calling papa to UN 😁🤣,

Myanmar military conducted two air strikes on civilian areas in Mrauk U and Kyauk Taw , Arakan yesterday killing more 7 civilians. This crime against humanity by Myanmar military must stop. The world keeps ignoring the suffering of Arakanese people . @UNGeneva @UN @FoxNews @cnni

@lowtierconbart3 Your personal perspective does not sum up the primary sources. The name Rohingyas created early 1960s and even Arakanese was not aware that was created as it had never been used prior to that . Many historians and scholars had pointed out Rohingya is a fake ethnic name

@AM25360438 the bangladeshi ambassador was loyal to a foreign government and lied

A note from British museum, In 1975, a Bangladesh ambassador confessed in Rangoon that half million of Bengalis illegally entered Arakan in the past and happily working in the rice farming. The reason who know the name Rohingyas are fake and made up one. STOP the lies

Arakan marine in action. Excited a big Arakan Marine force in 10 years time. We will protect Arakan marine territorial and make sure no single illegal Bengali smuggle into Arakan and no illegal fishing in Arakan marine territory. @UNGeneva @UN

@Saber13542381 @UNGeneva @UN @FoxNews @cnni They used to play the game so the people voice up

@AM25360438 @UNGeneva @UN @FoxNews @cnni Please UN help Rakhine civilians 😁,

@azi_osama81114 Have you asked grandfather where he came or how he smuggled Into Arakan before you teach me something? Over 300 millions Bengalis squeezing into a small piece of land and your fucking retarded dream of turning Arakan another Pakistan’s state. Do you think we are so naive?

@AM25360438 Hey motherfucker, stop spreading fucking propaganda and misinformations, fuck you motherfucker. You know nothing about.

A Bengali just needs to walk over fence to transform to a 1960 made Rohingya. However this will end very soon with the freedom of Arakan. Arakanese will fight to the last drop their blood together with our beloved Arakanese Muslim and Kamen ethnic Muslim. No 4 Bengali betrayers

@azi_osama81114 See identity theft has his own standard of stealing a land . How dare you !! You think it will be easy to create a name and simply rob a land. You Bengali have no shame . Unlike Kamen ethnic Muslims and other Arakan Muslims you Bengali are fucking betrayers . No shame

@AM25360438 Our identity wasn't since 1960, it was since 1700 over here. You thieves talk too much on social media just like to be honest Infront of the world. You Buddhist thieves all from BD (Bandarbon) and now criticize about the owner. You thieves must to run to and fro on a time.

Loot and land hungry people from Chittagong are pouring into Arakan - the Commissioner of Chittagong 1943 A secret British Indian government correspondence dated 13 April 1943 documents colonial authorities’ efforts to restrict population movement from Chittagong Division into Arakan during the Second World War. Marked “SECRET” and numbered No. 6-DC(5)/43, the letter describes migrants from Chittagong as “loot and land hungry people” who were “pouring into Arakan” in numbers the Military Administrator deemed “overwhelming.” The Document’s Content Under Secretary M.A. Hussain addressed the letter to the Secretary to the Government of Burma (Defence Department): “the Government of Bengal recently reported that they had received information from the Commissioner of Chittagong Division that loot and land hungry people from Chittagong are pouring into Arakan. The Military Administrator in Arakan considers the movement unfortunate and untimely, and he has requested that this embarrassing movement of population should be restrained. He is doing all he can on his side to check the stream but it is reported to be overwhelming.” To facilitate stronger controls, the Central Government delegated powers under Rule 25 of the Defence of India Rules to the Government of Bengal through notification No. 6-DC(5)/43 dated 12 April 1943. An internal Home Department file note (No. 21/18/43-Poll(I)) records the purpose as stemming “the migration of loot and land hungry people from Chittagong to Arakan.” Wartime Context and Bidirectional Displacement The migration followed the severe communal violence that erupted in Arakan in 1942 amid the Japanese invasion of Burma and the British retreat. The resulting administrative vacuum intensified clashes between Rakhine Buddhists (many initially pro-Japanese) and Arakan Muslims (largely pro-British), producing mass displacement in both directions and a temporary ethnic division of the region. Displacement estimates, drawn from wartime reports and later studies, vary due to incomplete records: **Arakan Muslims** — 22,000–40,000 fled north to Bengal to escape violence in central and southern Arakan, with many dying en route from attacks, starvation, or disease. **Rakhine Buddhists (Arakanese)** — In northern townships (Maungdaw and Buthidaung), systematic expulsions destroyed villages and drove out the Buddhist population. Estimates suggest up to 40,000 were displaced, with over 8,000 Arakanese refugees reaching Chittagong and surrounding areas in Bengal, some through British-assisted evacuations, and thousands killed in attacks, starvation, or exposure. The abandonment of large areas of farmland created the conditions for the 1943 southward movement from Chittagong, as economic pressures in Bengal—including the approaching 1943 famine—drove people to cross into depopulated zones. Colonial Response British military authorities in the partially reoccupied Arakan region regarded the influx as a complication for security and administration during the ongoing Burma Campaign. The Military Administrator described the movement as “unfortunate and untimely” and “embarrassing,” urgently requesting its restraint. The document’s characterisation of the migrants as “loot and land hungry” reflects the official framing of the situation. The delegation of emergency powers under the Defence of India Rules allowed Bengal authorities to impose stricter restrictions on cross-border movement, supporting containment efforts already underway in Arakan. Lasting Historical Echoes The events of 1942–43 deepened ethnic and territorial divisions in Arakan that had roots in earlier colonial policies and were sharpened by wartime allegiances and land competition. The large-scale bidirectional displacements generated enduring disputes over property and belonging that continue to influence the region’s history. This archival record illustrates the administrative measures taken by British authorities to manage population flows on a strategic wartime frontier amid widespread disruption.

@azi_osama81114 Really? 1960 made identity theft speaking his standard 😂😂. Stop shouting your fake identity living outside Arakan . Come inside do real work 😂😂

@AM25360438 Seek for any work then unwanted talking and propaganda about Rohingya. Are you lost your mind? Hold on, the real time doesn't come fast. Thieves talk always on blow up.

@nslwin I think it’s better expression than your gang threatening the existence of Arakanese and openly talk to kill us if chances are given . Stop make drama for individual expression

I am posting these translations to understand how the Rohingya are treated by some Burmese. There is no one to teach them to behave like decent human beings. 1st one: "Son of a bitch" 2nd one: "You and your accomplices cannot be classified as human. (The author used 'A-Kaung,' which refers to animals.) You are exactly the same as dogs."

Preventive Awareness Activities on Nipah Virus Being Carried Out in a Timely Manner Across Arakan State AB News – January 31, 2026 Ma La Win The Arakan Public Health Department announced on January 31 that it is actively carrying out preventive awareness activities to help the public in Arakan State protect themselves against the Nipah virus.

In addition, the Arakan Public Health Department urged the public to immediately contact the nearest health facility if they experience any symptoms suspected to be related to the Nipah virus, and to strictly follow the guidelines and instructions issued by the department.

@nslwin Rohingya is not an ethnic name or the name refers to certain group . It was made up around 1960s by Bengali settlers.

Lol… you’re all just copy-and-paste boys. 😀

Hate speech alert. One of the famous Bengali activists Nay SannLwim racially attacked an elderly Burmese woman who spoke up against Bengali immigrants so called Rohingya. Bengali activists are very sensitive and they think freedom of speech only applies to them. @tunkhin80

@MahmudZUllah Yes you are always innocent crocodile

It was the arakan militant who did this. Blame your army for letting teknaf be utilized by the arakan army for years

Most ArSA Ara live in Bangladesh refugees camps . They enter ARAKAN from there to do terrorists acts inside Arakan . If BG govt really want to arrest these terrorists they just need to go and arrest them from the camps . See the recent incident. They all run into BD if they fail

@dyl_nurul_amin Correct

Bangladesh 🇧🇩 is for the Rohingya 🇲🇲 what Egypt 🇪🇬 and the UAE 🇦🇪 are for Palestine 🇵🇸.

Iran in the past
