We are a group of young Rohingya intellectuals in exile who keep a grave concern over the situations of the state, Burma and over the human right violation against our own community, Rohingya. We are firmly decided to work for the nation with our full capability to a modern, developed and peaceful country. In this regard we will give a hand to all people’s elected representatives through 1990’s general election and their related parties who are fighting to restore democracy and human rights in Burma by working internally and externally. Throughout this peaceful fighting we will work to establish mutual trust among all nationalities for the tranquility among our brethren communities regardless of race, religion, believe, faiths, color, language, culture, dress, properties, region and appearance. We believe, in this way, a peace harmony can be assured the rights for all community due respect to equal valued after removed the autocrats form the state administration then establish the people’s designed parliaments with their chosen representatives.

3.1 A Concern on the History of Rohingya

Arakan is separate from Burma by a range of mountains called the Arakan Yoma Mountains, and their province is about 20,000 square miles in area, with Akyab as its provincial capital. It has a population of around 4,000,000, of whom about half of the population is Muslims, the rest are Buddhists, and five percent made up of various faiths, including Christians and Hindus.

The Rohingyas take their name from the ancient name of Arakan, and Islam was introduced to it by Arab merchants who visited it in the 8th century CE, followed by other waves of Muslim visitors, who brought with them, the Message of Islam. The response to the message was spontaneous, according to historians.

It is known from the accounts of the ancient Arab travelers and geologists that the Arab traders established trade link with the East Indies in the eighth and ninth century AD. During this time Chittagong, the lone seaport of East India, became the resting place and colony of the Arabs.

It can also learn that some ship wrecked Muslim traders were washed ashore on “Rambre” or “Ramree” Island during reign of Maha Taing Chandra (788 - 810 AD) and they were taken to live in the village (countryside) in his country. Other historians also recognized the fact that Islam and its influence developed in Arakan in the 9th and 10th century AD. From this period the curious Mosques known as Buddermokan was erected at the coast from Assam to Malay and one of the Mosque is still well-known at the Akyab costal area. 

In 1406 AD, King Narameik Hla (a) Min Saw Mon, the ruler of Arakan, was attacked by the king of Burma, and he had to take refuge with Sultan Nasiruddin Shah of Bengal, and, 24 years later he chose for himself the Muslim name Suleiman Shah and regained his lost kingdom with the help of Bengal. There were about 20 to 30 thousands of his Muslim armies to whom he settled continuously into Arakan and a Sandi Khan Mosque was built in Mro Haung (or) Mrauk Oo (Pattar Killar) during this time.

1. To establish Burma a democracy nation under the name of “Union of Burma” where will be many territorial based federal states with their own federal governments.

2. To earn the citizenship rights, equal human rights, equal justice and all other fundamental and universal human rights for Rohingya community as to all other communities in Burma.  

3. To give the protections to the Rohingya community from extermination through genocide and by scattering to every parts of the world after that missing among other communities.

1. We believe everyone is equal in born, in dignity, in justice, in education and health; and the earth is home place for human beings regardless of race, color, faith and etc.

2. We believe everyone has the right to citizenship of a nation on which soil he/she was born and where their forefathers were living historically for long time.

3. We believe the people are the original owner of the supremacy and all other resources in a country.  No one is above the law and no one (or) no group comes to conduct them slavery by using the way malpractice of the power.

4. We believe the Terrorism, Xenophobia, Nazism and Fascism are enemy of humanity whether they are in the shape of a government or appears in other form and the war against them is utmost fair.

5. We believe confrontation with the oppressor is the only way next to ignore (or) deny the way to peaceful negotiation.

6. We believe youths and intellectuals are the might of a community as well of a country. It is their obligation to give the protections to their nation (or) to their community from side by side.

7. We believe any issue directly (or) indirectly regarding to the Rohingya (or) other Burmese citizens at where we are working is our concern and we will try to handle such the matter without interfere the internal affairs of any other country except Burma.

1. We will put a hand together to all democratic forces that support future Burma of territorial base federal states that are free from decentralization.

2. We will approach to all international community who oppose the dictator military rule and support democracy human rights in Burma to earn their moral or material supports in this fight.

3. We will educate the youths to uplift their qualifications, inspiration then mentally train them how to give protections to themselves, their nationals and their nation in side by side.

4. We will form alliance and we join the campaigns to become stronger with whom we define constructive forces but against the brutalities.

5. We will fight by against the Xenophobia, bigotry and extremism who deny the right for a single person or a community of their rights to citizenship, their identity and all other fundamental and civil rights.  

1. We demand present military administration in Burma to stop their sham National Convention in which participate only 12 of the people elected representatives but most are their handpicked puppets.

2. We demand military chief to abandon the idea of holding the state power forever and thinking as own properties to the natural resources of the nation.

3. We demand State Peace and Development Council (SPDC) to find a way with National League for Democracy (NLD), Committee of the Representatives of People’s Parliament (CRPP), delegations from other elected won parties and ethnic representatives from each community to have a peaceful solution over all disputes and present political deadlock.

4. We demand to stop the sort of discriminations and divide-rule policy at ethnic areas; abhor killings and genocides; and stop the detention of politicians and innocent people with many fault allegations all over the country.

5. We demand to end the confiscation of properties from the people and remove all other restrictions like as on travelling, religions, marriages and educations which are cause the people to flee the nation.

6. We demand military government to respect the 1947 constitution which is based on the Pinlong agreement among Gen. Aung San and many ethnic leaders; and all other decision made by ethnic communities during the democracy administration before Gen. Ne Win. In addition we even demand them to respect and recognize the people’s desire through 1990’s general election after allowing them to serve the people and the nation.

7. We demand SPDC to deform such body as Union Solidarity and Development Association (USDA) and Swan Arr Shin for unnecessary tension among the people (or) for taking a control the state instability.
