United League of Arakan (ULA, the political wing of Arakan Army) has sent a letter of condolence to the family of  renowned academician Dr Wakar Uddin, who passed away at 11 am on Friday (29 April 2022).

According to the family sources, he passed away in Baltimore, Maryland, while undergoing treatment at John's Hopskin University Hospital. Born in 1954 at Maung Daw of Arakan, Dr Wakar Uddin taught at Pennsylvania State University.

“We (ULA/AA) are deeply saddened by the news and send our deepest condolences to the bereaved family and his friends. With an aim to resolve the conflicts between the two communities in Arakan, he worked tirelessly  with ULA/AA and Arakanese Diaspora and remained pragmatic in working out ways to achieve the social harmony and peaceful coexistence between them,” said a statement.

ULA’s letter mentioned that Dr Wakar Uddin was tirelessly working for the oppressed communities.
“The professor was widely accepted individual among the Muslim leaders who are working for the oppressed people and stood with them in need,” it stated.

It also added that historical records show how under the situation of political turmoil, the unscrupulous elements created trouble between the two communities when Dr Wakar Uddin tried his best to find a peaceful solution.

“We deem his passing away as a great loss especially when efforts to build social harmony between the two communities are being made. Dr Wakar Uddin possessed a profound understanding of our organization and also our goal. May Allah put him on Jannatul Firdaus!” said the ULA statement.
