Escalating Illegal Fishing by Bangladeshi Fishermen Threatens Arakan Coast

-


 

It reported a surge in illegal fishing by Bangladeshi fishermen in Arakan’s territorial waters, particularly along the coast and near the Naf River. On July 18, 2025, the Arakan Army Sea Patrol Team detained three boats and 23 Bangladeshi fishermen for unauthorized fishing, releasing them after investigation with a warning to obtain permits from the Arakan People's Revolutionary Government through Bangladeshi authorities.

The report suggests these activities exploit the ongoing conflict in Rakhine State and limited administrative oversight by the Arakan Army, with fishermen using large boats and nets to poach fish, including hilsa, impacting local resources. The article notes a lack of significant intervention from Dhaka’s authorities, including the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB), and alleges that some Bangladeshi media misrepresent these incidents as Arakan Army abductions within Bangladeshi waters.

Ancient Buddhist Kingdom Under Siege by Jihadist Movements

-
The narrative "Arakan - Ancient Buddhist Kingdom, Endangered by Jihad" portrays Arakan (Rakhine State, Myanmar) as a historic Buddhist kingdom with a centuries-old cultural heritage, now threatened by jihadist violence, primarily from the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA) and other Rohingya militant groups. It alleges these groups have engaged in violent campaigns since 1942, including massacres, arson, and ethnic cleansing targeting Buddhists, Hindus, and other minorities, with the goal of establishing an Islamic state. Highlighting events like the 2017 massacre of 99 Hindus, the account claims these actions endanger Arakan’s religious and cultural identity, framing the conflict as part of a broader extremist agenda. https://x.com/ArakanBaynews/status/1896597827733864845
