Press Release regarding the incident occurred near the Myanmar-Bangladesh border

Press Release

On 28 May 2014, around (MST) 09:00 hour, the Myanmar troops opened fire on two suspected armed Bengalis in yellow camouflage uniform who entered into the Myanmar territory within 80 feet from the Myanmar-Bangladesh border fence between Boundary Pillar 51 and 52 in the Maungdaw Township, Rakhine State and the exchange of fire between the two sides followed. One person was caught dead with one M-22 automatic rifle, four magazines and 98 rounds. The remaining person withdrew into the Bangladesh territory.

With respect to this incident, the Bangladeshi side alleged that the Myanmar side started opening fire on a team of the Border Guard of Bangladesh (BGB) which was patrolling along the border, and captured corporal Md. Mizanur Rahman.

In this regard, the Embassy of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh in Yangon sent a diplomatic note to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Myanmar on 28 May 2014. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Bangladesh also handed over a diplomatic note to U Myo Myint Than, Myanmar Ambassador to Bangladesh on the same day.

Another exchange of fire between Myanmar and Bangladesh border forces near the Boundary Pillar No. 50 occurred on 30 May 2014 at (MST) 16:00 hour, and it lasted about 20 minutes. Again, the Bangladeshi side alleged that the Myanmar troops started opening fire on a team of BGB which was waiting to retrieve the dead body captured by the Myanmar side on 28 May 2014.

As for the incident of the exchange of fire on 28 May 2014, there was no BGB team patrolling along the border between Boundary Pillar 51 and 52 on that day, as claimed by the Bangladesh side. The Myanmar troops just opened fire on two suspected armed Bengalis for security reason who were intruding into the Myanmar territory about 80 feet from the border line. The Myanmar troops neither opened fire on any BGB members nor captured a BGB corporal. It was found out that the outfit worn by the person caught dead did not match the BGB uniform.

Concerning the incident of the exchange of fire on 30 May 2014, the Myanmar side informed BGB to come and fetch the dead body at the Boundary Pillar 52 where the exchange of fire had occurred. The allegations by the Bangladesh side that a BGB team was waiting near the Boundary Pillar 50 to fetch the dead body was not relevant and that the Myanmar side started to fire was far from the reality.

The facts stated in these two diplomatic notes from the Bangladesh side are totally far from the real situation on the ground.

Therefore, Daw Maw Maw, Director-General of the Department of Training, Research and Foreign Languages, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, handed over the Aide-Memoire to Maj. Gen. (Rtd.) Anup Kumar Chakma, Ambassador of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh to the Republic of the Union of Myanmar, at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on 31 May 2014 at 1030 hours, categorically rejecting the claims mentioned by the Bangladesh side. U Kyaw Zeya, Deputy Director-General of the Political Department, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Deputy Chief of Mission from the Embassy of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh were also present on the occasion.

Regarding the incidents on 28 May 2014 and 30 May 2014, Myanmar will not tolerate any violation of its sovereignty and territorial integrity; still, the Government of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar will resort to diplomatic means to solve problems peacefully in view of existing bilateral friendly relations and good neighbourliness.

1.Yellow uniform? M-22 Rifle? No outfit in BD use these. If this handout is not lies/disinfo,Burmese insurgents use various uniform and weapons. None of them is based in BD since1995.Totally Burma's internal problem.

2. However if Burma keeps pushing out its Rohingya citizens, we will be compelled to allow them bases.

Are you sure that India has been controlling Bangladesh gov as puppet. This is the first time I have heard of it but I can't believe it. Sorry sir. I believe now running Bangladesh gov can give its citizens more democracy than its against party.
Any way, we want to live peace with our neighbors. We don't want any kinds of trouble with anyone but sometime, stupid things happen.

Don't take him seriously. Even if he gets a headache he would blame it on India, just have a laugh and move on.

they are not soldier, they are border guard and there is no reason for them to wear armour.

None of Myanmar media reports anything regarding Myanmar military without govt sanction I suppose. Only press release from govt was published in Myanmar newspaper.

 

[Mockingjay]

If you want to talk about the proof, here it is. One of bd soilder have no uniform to wear¿ only the halmet¿

Ours is also border guard. Btw, there is no different for someone who protect for a.country either soilder or border guard. I will called both of them as soilders.

Nope he is a villager, they took few of them to carry the corpse. They probably hand him over the helmet for safety reason. just see he is not wearing any boots.

You can see Indian strategy in action, how they instigated a war between West and East Pakistan, now another one being instigated between Bangladesh and Myanmar, morons never learn.

Less than 0.1% of the then population would have accepted your political propaganda against BD gaining independence from a far away country. It was not India that instigated any discontent. It was the population here who opposed people like you. So, no wonder some of you are being hanged by BD for acting against the independence and killing and raping non-Muslims.

Anti-BD guys like you are again active against the country when Burma attacks and kill our BGB troops. Your time may be nearing.

Why do we need to make fake stories to make us feel better? It was not a face to face skirmish, but a cowardly ambush by Myanmar... Plus the source of this news is Military intelligence seeking anonymity.... So this is not concrete but the possibility exists. As our military doesnt lead Government and doesnt need popularity unlike yours- there is no reason to lie.

The news can only be verified if your army release a press note admitting it.
Do you have any previous history where your Army does that on their own?

 

[Skallagrim]

Most probably a lie to heal the wound of the clueless BD idiots.

 

[sahaliyan]

Guys,I think Bangladesh and Myanmar should be friends,if Bangladesh want land route to China and ASEAN countries,you should go through Myanmar land,and I think it's very important for Bangladesh to have land route link China and ASEAN countries.And do you think Myanmar will threat your independent,control your enconemy?

 

[kobiraaz]

I also think so. But just want to mention- This news was first published by Newsevent24, followed by Nayadiganta. Both are pro jamati and have closer relation with Rohingya informers but not Govt . If the news is fake, then the Govt purposely fed it to anti Govt. media to make it credible.
