Genocidal Operations against Rohingyas
As stated earlier, although the slavish history of the Rohingyas begins with the annexation of Arakan in 1784, but the story of their large scale persecution and oppression begins with the beginning of the 20th century. Particularly, since 1937, when Burma was separated from British India, the soil of Arakan has been frequently drenched with the blood of the Rohingyas which caused innumerable exodus of Rohingyas in the wake of innumerable operations led against the Rohingyas out of which the Pogrom of 1942, Dragon King Operation of 1978 and the Operation of 1991/92 are the most horrific genocidal operations of the world. Being deprived of fundamental human rights and being victim of the systematic genocide, extra-judicial persecution and eviction, the Rohingyas have been leading a gypsy life at home and abroad decades after decades.

Arakan bottled up in Pride and Prejudices
Abid Bahar
In Burma, majority of its people follow Buddhism as their faith. Buddhism is known as a religion of peace. The Buddhist samsara discourse in its subtle meaning is normally understood to work as an aid to pacify anger and promote peace. This is however is not the case in the north western corner of Burma’s Arakan province. Contrary to Buddhist precepts, in Arakan, Buddhism is used to promote antagonism and violence against its Rohingya citizens. In this type of use, the xenophobic Moghs have elevated their religion to the status of a political ideology. It has lately promoted the political conceptualization of Buddhism to fight its perceived enemy, the Rohingyas. In this endeavor they are using Buddhism to justify their political agenda of exclusivity and ethnic cleansing, similar to the former Yugoslavian Serb’s use of religious discourse to commit genocide against Muslims.
Rohingya Peoples Legitimate Human Rights
For some people puzzled with the merchant history of Rohingers in the coastal Arakan “Wonder how many of these merchants landed in Arakan State of Burma to become a significant and distinct race of 1.2 millions speaking a Chittagonian language.”

Letter to Bo Aung Din of PDP on Arakan ultra-nationalist academics
Dear Bo Aung Din,
There is no denying that many of us are at odds with Aye Chan's version of history of Arakan. As an ultra-nationalist Rakhaing, his views on the minorities mimic those of the current hated SPDC regime, which is victimization of the minority so that such criminal actions would curry favor from amongst the majority, thus further fragmenting the already divided nation into opposing camps, while they hold onto power approvingly – the typical 19th century colonization policy, History 101.

ARNO condemns the arrest of peaceful demonstrators protesting massive fuel price hike in Burma
Arakan Rohingya National Organisation (ARNO) strongly condemns the arrest and detention by SPDC, of prominent students leaders and other activists for their peaceful expression of concern over the sudden massive fuel price hike that has led to the rise in all essential commodities.
Statement of ARNO on the paper The Rohingya and Rakhaing by Dr. Aye Kyaw
1. We express our serious concern about Dr. Aye Kayw’s paper, “The Rohingya and Rakhaing. Even the right-minded Rakhaings feel concerned about his deep hatred towards Rohingya. His definition of the name “Rohingya” is his own making, which has neither a link with a meaning to Bengali literature nor to Rakhaing language.
