We understand that there are so many minorities living in our country. We have Indians, Chinese, Bangladeshi and over 100 national races of Myanmar. However, they should realize that Indians, Chinese and Bangladeshi are not denied to Myanmar citizenship after living some period of time in Burma but they are not our ethnics. However, the term so-called Rohingya has never existed in our story and we have never heard of it. This name was created not long ago by the educated Bengali Muslim in order to establish Arakan as an Islamic state and to influence Islam to the whole of south-east Asia. Therefore, excluding native people of Arakan like Rakhine (Arakanese) from Myanmar map and including so-called Rohingya is clearly sign of insulting to our people. They said that they were intended to flag up and showed readers the state in which so-called Rohingya live.
However, they realize that considerable amount of other minorities’ population such as Thet, Mro, Chin, Burmese, Marama and Kamen are also living in Arakan and they are our ethnic sisters and brothers. So, why don't they try to intend to show those people? Why this so-called Rohingya? However, they attempt to use the word “ethnic” for so-called Rohingya is deeply insulting to the people of Arakan and Burma. The article and the map would become as documentation in recognition of political and historical contest. This issue may result in misunderstanding and conflict among the ethnic groups of Burma. In addition, the conflict between Muslim community and Buddhist Arakanese will follow. If potential bloody clash between Muslim and Buddhist would have happened, BBC who encouraged and supported Rohingya and Bengalis who created fake and false history of Arakan will have to take full responsibilities of the causes.
According to them, the map showed that Rakhine (Arakan) State is represented by Rohingya who are identified as a minority group in Myanmar even though the state is inhabited by Rakhine People (Arakanese). Furthermore, they said the map wrongfully depicted the Shan State to be represented not only by “Shan” ethnics but also by “Wa”; and that the Ayeyarwaddy Division and Kayah are represented by Karen and so on which are not in conformity with Myanmar's official ethnic and state definitions.
Some Myanmar netizens are asking BBC to apologize for publishing an ‘inaccurate' map of Myanmar's ethnic groups. They claim that BBC reporter Anna Jones used an inaccurate map in an article she wrote on November 5, 2010 titled “Bleak outlook for Burma's Ethnic Groups.”
BBC wants to play politics in Burma introducing their old fellows Bengalis into the Rakhine State. BBC is lobbying the globe for land for foreigners who illegally migrated many years ago threatening native Rakhine people. They should know that the word Arakan is not correct word geographically. British surveyor in early 19 century when they invaded the Rakhine Coastal strip did survey and named the land their own. He asked his bangali workers the name Rakhine. In bangali accent, they couldn't pronounce properly and say as arrrr rakan. Very funny. They put the name Arakan on the map. So, there is no Arakan so that arakanese is meaningless. Rakhine is true name.
We feel very depress because of that much giant media CHEATED, LIED, IRRESPONSIBLE AND BULLIED to all of us. Currently, there are so many Burmese exile news agencies such as Democratic Voice of Burma (DVB), Radio Free Asia (RFA Burmese), Voice of America (VOA Burmese), Mizzima Online Megazie, Irrawaddy Online Media were systematically seizing the news of our oppose on BBC. That’s why we are starting our campaign on BBC and Anna Jones need to apologize for their insult to Burmese people in this petition website. (http://www.thepetitionsite.com/485/--if-gte-mso-9xml-oofficedocumentsettings-oallowpngoallowpng-oofficedocumentsettings-xmlendif----if/).
According to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Article 19), Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers. So that we have absolute right to voice ours out and please support us to show your mercy on our Burmese people, who were neglect by the world’s giant medias.
