 ARAKAN ARMY IS THE DEFENDERS OF OUR FATHERLAND

Arakanland is an independent website of Arakan. The purpose of Arakanland is loved to describe of freedom of expression on behalf of all Arakanese people who are long suffering under the Burmese colonial domination.

For over the thousands years the Arakan, which was an independent Kingdom and it was ruled by Arakanese Kings who practiced Buddhist religion.

Unfortunately, Arakan was invaded by Burmese infamous King Maung Wyine, largely known as butcher amoung the Arakanese people, committed crime against humanity to the innocent Arakanese in 1784-1785. Our records point out there was inhumanly killled as genocide over seven millions people of Arakan.

Colonists from England via India and Japan came to Arakan for the act of occupying with different policies. The British ruled in Arakan in 1824 with the colonialism; and in 1942, Arakan was controlled by Japanese fascist.

In 1948, Burmese said that Burma was free from Great Britain. So far, Arakan became one of the colonies of Burma like Mon and Shan. As the result of Burmese colonization, the people of Arakan are fearful, poor, and uneducated.

Nowadays, we, the people of Arakan, are still concermed and denied to the right of self-determination and still subject to colonial and alien domination.
