The Arakan Liberation Party/Army (ALP/ALA) adheres to the policy “The enemy weapons are our weapons”. The group signed a state-level ceasefire on April 5th, 2012 and was one of the groups that signed the Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement (NCA) on October 15th, 2015 with the U Thein Sein administration. The ALP/ALA participated in the Myanmar peace process along with 10 other ethnic armed groups.

In 2019, fighting between the Arakan Army and the Tatmadaw (military) intensified throughout Rakhine State. The ALP expressed grave concern over the destruction of the homes of ethnic minority families living in the state, and the destruction of ancient cultural heritage. The group appealed to both sides to exercise extreme caution so that no civilians would be killed or injured by the conflict.

The ALP, which lost its headquarters in clashes with the Arakan Army(AA) near the India-Myanmar border in 2016 and 2017, would like to resolve the political crisis through dialogue.
The ALP strongly believes that the root cause of the conflict in Rakhine State is a political one that can be resolved through the provisions of the NCA and not armed force.

Following the February 2021 military coup, there were meetings between the ALP and the State Administration Council (SAC). The group participated in the junta’s 6th anniversary of the signing of the NCA. Since then, there have been leadership changes within the ALP.
