    It is really Sad what is happening to the Rohingya people. There is a historic backdrop to this conflicts...the Rohingya people left Assam and West Bengal to work for the Burmese King around 200years ago, but they were never given Citizenship. Now Bangladesh is hosting around 1million Rohingya refugees....I visited their Camp in cox bazaar...last year:(

      Khondker Rifat Hossain Bangladesh even said rohingya wasn’t their people. And we Burmese had to take care of them, so this is my experience. I went there to the rohingya refugees to take photos and they gave me a paper thinking that I was a mongolian Journalist and that paper says that they were beaten to death by the Burmese soldiers and they want freedom. The truth is that they want land from us. And they are aggressive for example once i read in a newspaper that the rohingya people were throwing fire rings at huts in the Rakhine villages and that was true, an actor call Wai Lu Kyaw even went there and he had some trouble, the rohingya people (ASAR terrorists) planted bombs on the way to the state. We live with Muslims in Yangon, no problem we good, we even sometimes eat together. Its not about religion, its about education, rohingya people dont go to school (yes theres school in Rakhine) no learning, no shits given about education. Ofc they are poor. They want free food from Organizations. They want land from Myanmar, they want to make their own country, stop thinking that we Burmese people are evil

Rohingya people used to have their own land but the government is the one who took their land away from them.

So it’s sad because nobody is on the Rohingya’s side and nobody is willing to help them. Unless, Burmese start speaking up about the genocide happening to all ethnic civilians.
