To celebrate Eid, the holiest festival for Muslims, occurring on June 6, 2025, the Arakan Army (AA) has reportedly arranged events for donating sacrificial animals in various townships across Rakhine State.

The events took place in the townships of Maungdaw, Buthidaung, Kyauktaw, Mrauk-U, Minbya, Pauktaw, and Rathedaung.

Furthermore, it has been announced that the slaughter tax for cattle utilized during the festival has been eliminated.

A Muslim student from Maungdaw stated, "I am a Muslim student from Maungdaw. The Muslim community of Maungdaw expresses deep gratitude to ULA/AA for donating meat to the Muslim community during the Qurbani celebration on Eid.

This year, Muslims in Rakhine areas controlled by the AA were reportedly allowed to celebrate Eid, a religious festival, without restrictions.
