Maungdaw District Muslim Affairs Council Condemns ARSA/RSO Terrorist Acts Threatening Rakhine-Muslim Harmony

-

 


In a statement released on October 25 2025, the Maungdaw District Muslim Affairs Council strongly condemned the alleged abductions, torture and killings of civilians by the militant groups Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA) and Rohingya Solidarity Organisation (RSO), saying these actions pose a “clear threat to regional peace, stability and the rule of law”. 

The Council noted that since the Arakan Army/United League of Arakan (AA/ULA) assumed administration over Maungdaw District, conditions had improved significantly for the Muslim community: residents now reportedly enjoy greater freedoms in religious education, travel and employment, and take part in elder-council structures (Juri committees) for managing cultural affairs. 

Highlighting this progress, the statement added that ARSA and RSO’s militant operations—listed as frequently abducting, torturing and murdering civilians—risk undermining the social harmony between Rakhine and Muslim communities that has been building in the region. 

Also emphasised was the Council’s concern that some foreign organisations, such as Fortify Rights, are sidelining local voices in peace-building efforts and instead amplifying narratives favourable to the militants—actions the statement described as breeding mistrust and tension between ethnic groups. 

The Council demanded immediate action to halt the militant attacks, protect civilians, and preserve the communal peace being achieved in Maungdaw.

  Following the devastating impact of Cyclone Mocha and recent severe flooding, the United League of Arakan (ULA) medical teams have been actively providing essential healthcare services across villages in Rakhine State. Amidst escalating inflation in Myanmar, which has driven a significant increase in the cost of medicines and medical supplies, the ULA and Arakan Army (AA) are striving to meet public health demands with limited resources.  The ULA medical teams are delivering critical care to both Rakhine and Muslim populations affected by Cyclone Mocha, ensuring that lifesaving treatment is provided equitably. Under ULA medical teams, Muslim communities receive medical care without discrimination, reflecting a commitment to inclusive healthcare access for all residents. https://x.com/ArakanBaynews/status/1694356247951311285

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
