THE State Administration Council emphasizes State development by adopting the Five-Point Road Map and Nine Objectives and invites ethnic armed organizations to the talks for eternal peace. Meanwhile, the Arakan Army (AA) ignored the invitation to peace talks and attacked the border police outposts near Myanmar-Bangladesh border posts with excessive force.
Around 7:30 pm on 16 September, the AA launched attacks cooperating with ARSA from a certain distance of the Taungpyo (left) police outpost near BP-31 between Myanmar and Bangladesh and the shells fell into the Bangladesh side and three exploded.
At about 8:10 pm on the same day and on the morning of 17 September, they also attacked the Taungpyo (right) Wal police outpost near BP-34 using heavy weapons and six shells fell and exploded in Bangladesh.
While the government is endeavouring for eternal peace, the attacks by the AA with ARSA on border guard police, who are conducting security measures in order to maintain peace, stability and the rule of law along the border, near the Myanmar-Bangladesh border fencing were launched intentionally to affect the bilateral relation of two countries. Some people near the Bangladesh border area were injured after the explosion of mortar shells.
Similarly, AA committed ambush attacks on the border police, and blocked and cut communication channels. On 31 August morning, they attacked the border guard police outpost at BP-40 with excessive force. The outpost was lost, and some border guard members sacrificed their lives in the attack.
For the above cases, the letters were sent to Cox’s Bazar-based No 34 Border Guards Bangladesh via the Myanmar Border Guard Police Force Unit and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported to officials concerned as per the procedures.
