There is Rohingya in Arakan state since you Rakhine and Bamma occupied before Mon Naingen(Mon Land).You and Bamma are same nation and same race 100%.You are Tibeto-Burman until 1784.Rohingya are not Tibeto-Burman but Aryan descender which you demand for.Actualy the name Rakhaing is become from Rokhang Bamma king Bhodaw called Rakhang and then became Rakhaing.Rohingya were Hindu and Budhist until 7th century when your fasit king Nazhao was in Tibet.Rohingya converted to Islam from Budhist 90% of it,s population in 1430.Rohingya were diveded by two part one in Chitagong and Arakan.You Rakhine (Bamma)came in Rokhang in 1404-1430 first time.King Naramikhla was Rokhingya Budhist and he converted to Islam. He was known as Sulaiman Shah.You Rakhine lived with Rokhingya in many hundread years with Rokhingya people untuil 1784.Rokhingya never immigrant to Burma but you and Bamma envaded to Arakan.Did you forget that you occupied Mon.???

There is no rohingya history in burma(myanmar). Those guys are bengali from bengladesh. Bengaladesh gov systematically exposed their poor people to neighboring countries india and myanmar. Those begalis attacked bodo people at india and also attacked rakhine people in myanmar. Begaladesh should take their responsibility. Now, India is super power, so they send all bengalis back to Bangladesh but Myanmar cannot do because it has lesser power.

I don't wish to live together with Rohingya. They are not good for their own families and also their societies.So how about for different societies.You had seen, heard and read about their faith in the world events and news and I have also experience about their living ways. If they have good wish, first of all,they should show their good tendency,politeness,kindness and faithfulness to their neighbors and their staying country but now they had shown their bad ambitions. Same to their brothers also, showing their bully thoughts and acts to us. If they have good-mind, they should take them to their countries. UNHCR is also the budgets-puppets organization. It also has bias. UNHCR is also aimlessly or having knowing shamelessly doing to spoil the Myanmar now and for future. I don't think UNHCR is best organization for this events because they didn't know Myanmar people feeling ,may be not care of us.We are not arrogant persons in the World you know.Who show mercy Mynamar People.

How dare you to call Burmese as uncivilised.
Where do you belong, in which country you are from? Just want to know.
Be respect to different religion and nationality is one of the major ethic to do if you are a human being.
Rakhine state problem started because of local buddhist woman got raped by three muslim men.
If that woman is your own sister, what will you do???

If we talk about sharing responsibility, we must also talk about Bangladesh. Bangladesh is the root cause; not Burma. Its overpopulation and continued aggression to get Burmese land piece by piece is the main problem. All the responsibility should not be put on the shoulder of the young transitioning Burmese government.

Bangladesh is not the root cause! root cause is uncivilised burmese people. there are loads of rakahaines and marmas in Bangladesh. Are you suggesting Bangladesh start calling these ethnic minorities as illegal and send them back to Burma?

Dear Ms Priscilla Clapp, I just want to ask you some question about your post.Have you ever visit to burma or rohingya conflict place? [...] I do suggest you to visit the place before you posting a news.I wish you to know "from where rohingya come from, what is real happening in burma rakhine state" Because of wrong news conflict can stronger, news informer agency also can't call real news agency.stop creating conflict.Be aware of your self.

Rohingya are aborginal from Arakan and Rakhine are Bamma.THey came from Tibet and occupied Monland and occupied Rohingya land in 1784.

Ms. Clapp, it is rather nice to read your point of view. Where are you from? If you are living in Burma as a citizen, you should respect 60 millions of Burmese suffering military regime for more than 20 years. Now we are approchasing to get democracy. Please mind your own business. We Burmese have alot to work on but not by taking illegal Bangali immigrants, it is because they live illegally in our land does not meant that our Government should take responsible for that. Do not take advantage of our generousy by letting these [...] to live in our land in the first place. Now it is time for Rohingas to go back to Bangeldesh. So as UNHCR and INGOs in Burma to get out from our land. Given no consideration to Local Buddhist Rakhine communities living in Rakhine state but by ignoring that Rakhine Buddhist also suffering because of those Illegal immigrants.

Prosper? That's EXACTLY the reason for the oppression Ms. Clapp. They do not want to see anyone but themseleve​s prosper

A very good analysis, Ms Clapp.
Many reports even in the "reliable" mainstream Western media seem to be rather uninformed, to put it mildly. I think Burma as a modern Nation cannot base its citizenship laws purely on "ethnicity/race" (which is a rather dubious and obsolete concept in my opinion) I always thought discrimination based on race, religion or gender is something that the whole world wants to get rid of!
