We raise our voices with pain, hope, and responsibility.
This joint statement is an urgent appeal to the Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh to adopt a clear national policy on the Rohingya issue and take immediate action toward safe, dignified, and voluntary repatriation to our ancestral homeland, Arakan.
Bangladesh showed humanity when the world hesitated. We will never forget that. But temporary protection cannot become permanent exile. Our children are growing up without citizenship, without a homeland, and without certainty about their future.
Repatriation to Arakan is not a slogan. It is our right, our identity, and our only durable solution. Delay risks condemning another generation to statelessness.
We call for a policy with a clear timeline, meaningful Rohingya participation, and full respect for international humanitarian and human rights standards. Our people deserve dignity, security, and a future at home.

Rohingya historical evidence documents preserved and shared through old records, photographs, official papers and archival materials clearly prove that the Rohingya are an indigenous ethnic community of Arakan with a deep-rooted history spanning centuries. These documents circulated today through social media platforms, reflect Rohingya presence in citizenship records, land documents, electoral participation, education and administrative life, long before modern political conflicts. Together, they stand as undeniable proof against false narratives, affirming Rohingya identity, history and rightful belonging to their homeland.

Press Release – Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Bangladesh
In its submission to the International Court of Justice in The Gambia v. Myanmar case on the Rohingya genocide, Bangladesh has firmly condemned the false labeling of the Rohingya as “Bengali.” The Ministry stated that this misrepresentation deliberately erases Rohingya identity and history, undermining justice, accountability, and human rights.
Bangladesh reaffirmed that recognizing the Rohingya as a distinct people is essential for truth, protection of rights, and the pursuit of safe, voluntary, and dignified return to their homeland.

🇲🇲 78th Anniversary of Myanmar Independence Day – 4 January 2026
On behalf of the Arkan Rohingya National Union (ARNU) and the Rohingya community, we solemnly acknowledge Myanmar’s Independence Day, observed annually on 4 January, marking the country’s independence from British colonial rule in 1948.
While this day is celebrated nationwide with joy and pride, for the Rohingya people, it remains a day of reflection and sorrow, a reminder of promises unfulfilled and rights long denied.
On 4 January 1948, Burma (now the Republic of the Union of Myanmar) emerged as a sovereign nation. Across the country, the day is marked by parades, official ceremonies, and cultural events symbolizing freedom and national identity. The Rohingya have contributed generations of heritage, knowledge, and labor, yet their rightful place in the nation has repeatedly been denied.
For the Rohingya, independence is overshadowed by decades of systemic oppression, denied citizenship, excluded from political life, and subjected to relentless persecution. Ethnic cleansing, mass killings, and genocide forced over 1.2 million Rohingya to flee their ancestral homeland, while those remaining face ongoing humanitarian crises.
Nearly nine years after the largest forced displacement in modern history, survivors continue to live in the world’s largest refugee settlement in Cox’s Bazar, in conditions that are harsh and uncertain. True independence for Myanmar cannot exist while the Rohingya remain stateless, persecuted, and denied dignity.
On this solemn day, ARNU reaffirms its unwavering call to the international community:
• Ensure accountability for perpetrators of atrocities.
• Uphold justice for victims.
• Implement a sustainable solution for the safe, voluntary, and dignified return of the Rohingya to their ancestral homes in Arakan State, Myanmar.
We honor the resilience and courage of our people and reaffirm our commitment to justice, freedom, and dignity. The Rohingya will never cease their pursuit of rightful recognition and equality, because true independence for Myanmar can only exist when it embraces all its peoples, including the Rohingya.

The Arakan Rohingya National Union (ARNU) reaffirms its unwavering commitment to justice, dignity, and the rightful repatriation of the Rohingya people to their ancestral homeland in Arakan.
We call upon all Rohingya CBOs, CSOs, community leaders, and the global conscience to stand united under a national vision, strengthen collective action, and move forward with one voice for our people’s future.
Unity is our strength. Justice is our right. Return is our destiny.
