ULA/AA Donates Meat for Eid al-Adha in Maungdaw









On June 7, the Arakan People's Revolutionary Government (APRG), under the ULA/AA, organized a public Eid al-Adha event in Maungdaw and donated meat curry to the local Muslim community for the celebration. Around 300 people—including ULA/AA leaders, Muslim religious figures, and local residents—attended the ceremony.

This marks a shift from past years when celebrations were limited to private homes. The APRG also donated 10 cows to support underprivileged Muslims. A religious leader praised the gesture as a step toward mutual respect, religious freedom, and peaceful coexistence among ethnic groups.

Under previous military rule, such events were restricted, and local residents faced limitations on movement. Now, Muslims in Maungdaw report enjoying greater religious freedom and security, with the AA conducting regular patrols and addressing criminal activity.

They demand that e...

How Pakistan’s ISI is helping Rohingya armed groups to forge a united front in Bangladesh

On 25 December, representatives from four outfits—Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA), Rohingya Solidarity Organisation (RSO), Islami Mahaz, Arakan National Defence Force (ANDF), and the Arakan Rohingya Army (ARA)—shared the dais at a refugee camp in Bangladesh’s Cox’s Bazar following a new alliance called the Four Brothers’ Alliance or The Rohingya Army among these groups.  An Indian government official was of the opinion that linkages with ISI offered the Rohingya groups better chances of gaining access to a wider network for procuring the ingredients necessary to wage war in Myanmar than what would have been possible with Bangladesh’s spy agency Directorate General of Forces Intelligence (DGFI).   https://www.firstpost.com/opinion/how-pakistans-isi-is-helping-rohingya-armed-groups-to-forge-a-united-front-in-bangladesh-13856825.html
