Arakan News Agency
We discussed about possibility for peaceful coexistence within Rakhine and Rohingya communities of Arakan, experiences of violences, rule of law, 1982 citizenship law, full-fledged citizenship challenges for Rohingyas, situation of both communities and IDPs camps, assistance to peace & development for all, scholarships and etc.
Upon query by Mr. Soros, we proofed there is no illegal Immigrants from Bangladesh to Arakan mathematically and logically. We refered the Report of Sub Commissioner’s Office of British government, Akhyab 26th April 1826, to highlight population ratio of 60,000 Arakanese Mughs (Rakhines) and 30,000 Mussalman (Rohingyas). The ratio is 2:1.
According to government sources, total population of Arakan in 2014 is 3 millions more or less. Out of 3 millions, 2 millions are Rakhines and others and 1 miliion is Rohingya. After 189 years, the population ration in Arakan is still 2:1. It’s amazing.
If we calculate the population of Mussalman by using incremental formula, there must be minimum 2.5 millions Rohingya inside Myanmar by now.
But we have approximately 1.5 millions of Rohingya Muslims inside Arakan and other parts of Myanmar now. Where are the remaining? They are living in Bangladesh, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Australia, UK, USA, Canada and etc. So, there is no illegal immigrants of Muslims to Arakan but illegal departures from Arakan.
