      Remember, there's hardly any Muslim, Hindu or Christian in Burma up until Anglo British Colonialism. I suppose it's fair to say that many of these tragedies that the nation is facing today, such as racial, ethnic and religious conflicts, started with Colonialism.
      Here's my suggestion.. Why not Myanmar's Muslim, Hindu and Christian population, if they wish, move to a place like Anglo Colonized vast bountiful Australia/New Zealand in the Asia-Pacific region?
      After all, these are Asia-Pacific lands looted from Native Asians-Pacific people.
      Once again, ginormous resourceful Australia & New Zealand in the Asia-Pacific region are Asia-Pacific lands looted from Native Asians-Pacific people.

      @@oddfellow1114 By the way, I feel for the refugees and civilians displaced by the bloody civil war.
      In my humble opinion, refugees, displaced civilians and others fleeing or caught up in the civil war in Myanmar should be able to relocate and resettle over to the vast resourceful Australia & New Zealand in the Asia-Pacific region.
      In fact, around 90% of Australia/New Zealand are completely empty.
      Besides, the vast majority of the population in Australia/New Zealand, tens of millions of Europeans were from all over Europe brought in over to the Asia-Pacific region.
      Colonialism and Colonization are evil things done by evildoers. Here in Singapore, a tiny island with 6 million souls lives like sardines in a can, elsewhere in nearby vast bountiful Australia which is ten thousand times 10,000 bigger with a mere 27 million inhabitants.

      Rebels become from people. They have their own money to buy weapons. It's not very difficult to buy weapons in Southeast Asia especially near the border of Thailand. Have you ever heard of the Golden Triangle Area? Weapons are available easily since the Vietnamese vs US war. Also, the rebels are young people who are educated, they can build their own factory which can produce light weapons. There is a factory.

      ​@colorcaoz well for all reasons Myanmar Army is a dying one they have literally impose consscription to kidnap young men off the streets in nightime or through checkposts to fill up the gap for manpower also include the exponential corruption. The Pro Democracy groups receive arms and training from the pre existing Ethnic Minority Armed Groups that has fought the Junta for decades also include the mass donations they get from the common public. A vast majority of the rebel attacks are on military posts and convoys which results in capturing of weapons and ammo. Also include the black market and cross border trade.
