ARAKAN-10/30/2011- Arakanese (Rakhine) in around the World has made a “Social Media Campaign “as Facebook online campaign “Anno Jones and BBC Apologize NOW” regarding on a Map of article “Bleak outlook for Burma’s ethnic groups” by Anna Jones of BBC NEWS ASIA-PACIFIC on November 5, 2010.
Her article map drew before an update on 10/28/2011 Arakan referred to so-called Rohingya illegal Chittagongnian Bengali Muslim. BBC had created it was unfair. BBC should not make that falsification.The sight of map is hateful to the native Arakanese who are belonging to eight major indigenous nationalities of Burma/Myanmar. Dr. Aye Kyaw, Arakanese and Burmese expert, former Professor of Cornell University and New York University (NYU) of United States of America, commented “This creation’s unacceptable and insults the people not only native Arakan but also in the whole of Burma” and he said “They (BBC) know it’s wilfully created.” He urges all Arakanese should take objection to until BBC must say “Beg Off”. If they do not beg perdon, we should take more action as boycott to BBC.
Dr. Aye Chan also sent a message to BBC Burmese Service on October 26, 2011 Dear BBC, I am not writing this message with prejudice. I am a scholar. As a historian I am loyal only to the truth. Some radio programs, including those of BBC Burmese are trespassing into the patience of the Arakanese (Rakhine) people. As a citizen of Burma who loves the truth, I will not stay away from this matter.
