Article Analysis Global Arakan Network December 20, 2025 The article published on 29 November 2025 in The New Nation by A H M Faruk paints a dark picture. It claims the Arakan Army runs a vast drug empire that threatens Bangladesh’s survival. Words like “drug terrorism” and “drug bomb” fill the page.

Report Analysis Global Arakan Network November 25, 2025 Cover of BROUK's Report and Webinar About It The Burmese Rohingya Organisation UK (BROUK) recently released a report entitled “The Rohingya genocide: starvation and forced labour as tools of erasure.” The title is deliberately emotive, yet the content is markedly thin on verifiable evidence, independent sourcing, and contextual balance.

The quote, “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it,” often attributed to Joseph Goebbels, a Nazi propagandist and extremist fascist, reflects a dangerous tactic.

On October 7, Mahbul Alom, a journalist from the Bangladeshi news agency 'In-Territorial News (ITN)', publicly urged collaboration between the fascist Military Commission (formerly Military Council) forces, who are brutally killing people in Myanmar, and the Islamic extremist groups in Bangladesh to capture Rakhine State.

According to Bangla Press news agency, the Muslim terrorist groups known as ARSA, RSO, ARA, and RIM are illegally smuggling weapons into Bangladesh.

Certain social media platforms in Bangladesh, particularly those using the Bengali language, frequently spread false narratives about Arakan Army (AA) soldiers fleeing into Bangladesh due to alleged moral collapse on the battlefield or being arrested within the country in connection with the AA.

The United League of Arakan (ULA), the political wing of the Arakan Army (AA), issued a scathing statement on October 11, 2025, accusing corrupt officers of the Bangladesh Border Guard (BGB) of providing critical support to the extremist militant groups Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA) and Rohingya Solidarity Organisation (RSO).

The Arakan Army released a military warning on October 10, 2025, and the Full Translation of the Statement is as follows:

He is Suja Uddin, a top leader and key advisor of the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA), who is currently based in an ASEAN country—likely Malaysia.

On October 7, 2025, the Myanmar junta's news mouthpiece released a fresh drug allegation against the Arakan Army, claiming that "the terrorist group AA was caught in Yangon with drugs worth over 195 billion kyats intended for transport to Rakhine State and Malaysia." 

At least five injured members of the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA) were brought to Bangladesh from the ongoing clashes in northern Maungdaw Township, according to an anonymous Bangladeshi intelligence official.

In Maungdaw Township, between Lipa Ywa Haung and Thaya Kon villages, three civilians traveling were attacked by the extremist Islamic terrorist group ARSA with a mine explosion on October 5, around 9:30 AM, resulting in one civilian being injured, according to the victims of the attack.

According to data compiled by the Humanitarian and Development Coordination Organization (HDCO)—the humanitarian arm of the United Liberation Army (ULA)—a stark pattern emerges: 97 percent of the Myanmar junta's air strikes in Arakan are directed against Arakanese civilians,
