In Myanmar,no body can implement democracy until government find and arrest Awakyunethas' leaders such as Dr.Aye Maung.How dare those Awakyunetha calling Our national mother as Kalama?

Reply to this commentRohingya issue is human right issue, and lack of citizenship law in Burma. there is no reason not to accept rohingya people as citizens of Burma since they have been living in Burma for decades. Rohingya people may not be indigenous of Burma. when they were recognized as citizens, they should be granted all basic human rights equal to other Burmese citizens. Today, there are thousands of Karen, Shan, Karreni, Chin, Mon, Kachin, Wa, and Arakanese people are living in refugee camps without being organized their citizenship of Burma. What is the different between Rohingya and other ethnic indigenous people of Burma. they are on the same boat. the statement issued by NDF is not only politically correct, but also far from the principle of the Universal Declaration of Human rights. NDF leaders should rethink about the statement before it is released.

Reply to this commentObviously Democracy in Burma obviously doesn't include the right for children to have statehood in the country of their birth. And the idea that anyone, especially Rohingya has been migrating TO Burma in the last 30 years is completely unsupportable, and frankly silly. A deep wound to the credibility of all the ethnic organizations included.

Reply to this commentrohingyas are already citizens, only they want to claim as the indigenous people of Burma, demanding the Rakhine Buddhist kings were Muslims, which is ridiculous and rings of questionable plots.

Why is it ridiceluse that the burma kings might have been Muslims?. My sri lankan people teached buddism to burmese people year 1400 . Its just 600 years ago. Prior to that allready muslims/hindu people lived in the lands of Indi-China . Such as cambodia, thailand , who all have alot of hindu temples such as ankor Wat. Buddism is pretty new to "East asian people" Indians have had it for 10 000 years ...back to the days of Iran and Afganistan Bangladesh pakistan was mainly buddists.

I think Rohingya should be allowed to stay in Burma as citizens. There is no reason to deport a race of people because some of them raped a Burmese women. Its a terrible crime. Let the ones that wants to get back into the country back in. I also think that Burma needs to really shut down the border because 160million in bangladash alot of people from china and india. We live in the center of very populous countries and burma is not a country of immigrants. Even if they did try to join east pakistan(bangladash) in the 50's and succeed from burma.
