Rakhine state is to be a Kalar state. They will take over Naypyidaw and will slaughter Bamar people. I think Myanmar people will be the slaves of Kalar. —-----------------Attach link file Translation (2) An Indian newspaper published an article that Bengali people are trying to take over the Rakhine state and implement Sharia laws in the state. In another article, a Pakistan agent is giving military training to Bengali (Rohingya) along with weapons in Bangladesh. After the Arakan Army took over Maungdaw township, the leader of RSO Muhammad Ko Lin gave an interview to Reuters saying that they have more than six thousand soldiers and their aim is to take over up to the middle part (Ann township) of Rakhine state. Even though it seems like the Junta is using Rohingya militants, in fact, the Rohingya militants are using the Junta because they are getting food, ration, training, weapons and everything from the Junta. It is known that these militants are already in Sittwe township with the support of Junta. Even though the Junta and Rohingya militants have different intentions, they are collaborating together to attack AA. The reason that the Junta is importing Rohingya to the Kyaukphyu township is that they want to create ethnic and religious conflicts between the two communities so that AA will be responsible for the Junta’s crimes in the eyes of international communities. Rakhine people should take care that they will not be sandwiched between the Junta and the extremist terrorists. This is the reason why more Rakhine people should join military training to protect the Rakhine state and ourselves. —------------------Attach link file Translation (3) In the administration of Thein Sein, USDP took many illegal Bengali into the Rakhine state and dog military issued citizenship to them.

Abstract

Hate Speech Targets and Usages

In this month’s (the month of January 2025) monitoring, hate speech targeted the most was PDF, and the second Arakan Army and the third was the Muslim community. Moreover, hate speeches targeting KIA and Rohingya people were found as well. Hate speeches targeted at the Rakhine people were also recorded along with AA.

    In addition, the most used terms of hate speeches for this month are "dog, terrorists, illegal immigrant Bengali, Kalar (a derogatory term referring to Muslims), and evil.

Hate Speech targeted Islam and the Muslim community

The issue of the Rohingya crisis became more complex after the coup in 2021. Since the Myanmar military allied with the Rohingya armed forces after the coup, the misconceptions about the Rohingya civilians have increased than before. Based on these misconceptions, the spread of hate speech against the Rohingya has grown significantly.

Based on the ongoing clash between the Rohingya armed organizations and the Arakan Army (AA) in northern Rakhine State, a Tiktot account named Yaungpyanlin posted a hate speech that the local ethnic people in Rakhine State will disappear and the Rohingyas will take over the whole state. In that post, the Rohingya in Rakhine State were targeted by Abusive Hate Speech and derogatory terms.
