The Arakan Army Flag is an unofficial and non-standardized banner associated with the Arakan Army, an ethnic Rakhine insurgent organization active in western Myanmar (Burma). As noted in the flag description, there is no single standardized Arakan Army flag; various militia-aligned groups employ differing emblems incorporating six-pointed stars and eagle motifs. This widely circulated variant features a horizontal bicolor field of blue over red, divided into two equal fesses. Centered across the upper half is a stylized white eagle displayed with outstretched wings, rendered in a symmetrical heraldic style. Beneath the eagle sits a large white six-pointed star encircled by a laurel wreath, symbolizing unity, struggle, and martial honor.
The design has drawn attention for the visual resemblance of its eagle to the German Reichsadler, historically used by the Nazi Party (NSDAP). While this similarity has been noted in political commentary, no verified historical documentation establishes a direct ideological or historical connection between the Arakan Army and National Socialist symbolism. The eagle motif itself is a long-standing heraldic emblem representing sovereignty, vigilance, and military strength, and appears in numerous global insignia. Within the context of Myanmarโs internal conflict, the flag functions primarily as a nationalist and paramilitary identifier rather than a formally codified state symbol.
