The Best Solutions to Solve Rakhine and Rohingya issues in Arakan
State Myanmar
I still remember every single day of my life where I grown up in Maungdaw Township, Arakan State. We went to school without any fear, bullying and discrimination. We also went to the Mosque, Arabic school for practising Islam. We also participated in various National Event day activities including sport. I also remember one of cousin who is also my neighbour won 26 miles marathon by completing his run with 2hrs and 23mins on Union day sport celebration which is on 12th of February every year. During the winter pick seasons from November to February, Rakhine and Rohingya were always involving together on early morning jogging on the main Road which is connected Maungdaw and Buthidaung townships. Rohingya and Rakhine were always sharing food which usually provide by Lord of the farmers mainly Rohingya. (Lay Pying Shin). We also share sports together such as football, volleyball, Chin Lone. The most amazing event is Buffalo fight during the winter where Rakhine and Rohingya were attended together to enjoy.
Rohingya and Rakhine fail to realise that the grass root of harmonies are slowly infecting with various poison since Ne Win implemented 1982 citizenship Law. My personal feeling is that Rakhine are a looser on failing to realise so. Arakan state is called Rakhine State. Rakhine state is branded to be own by Rakhine, not Rohingya but Rohingya are belong Rakhine state (Arakan State). No one can deny that. On every state in Burma (Myanmar) or perhaps in any part of the world people are to live together regardless of race, ethnicity and religious. It is just like an example of having different types of Flower in the Flower Garden. I personally don’t blame to neither Rakhine community nor Rohingya for the recent riot in Arakan and also their continually built hatred on Rohingya. I simply want to say that they are not clever enough by not realising that they are falling into well prepared Ne Win and Than Shwe poisonous weapon which were designed to divert their crime, Politics and to hold up power as long as they live in this world.
1982 Citizenship Law is the only physically visible document among the equipment which used to fix Ne Win and Than Shwe’s political black hole. There are many others which are invisible but can realise only if someone have been to Arakan State particularly northern part. The most powerful weapon beside 1982 citizenships law was implementing hatred and bullying through institutions such as school, government offices, and government departments. High ranking government officials never incite hate and bullying directly. They just ignite to implement hate and bully to their staffs who were Rakhine against Rohingya and Rakhine took advantage to start spreading. From school, it spread to young children, from government offices it spread to the parent, from government department it spread to the general public.
I started feeling racial discrimination, bullying and hate since 1990s when SLORC came to power. General Khin Nyint who is lefthand man of Nay Win succeeded his God father policy towards Rakhine and Rohingya. Khin Nyint is the person who understand very well on how to incite between Rakhine and Rohingya as he career grown from northern part of Maungdaw Townships in Rohingya village. He even called a Rohingya Person named Abdul Salam from Bolly Bazar as God father who always feed him the best foods, fruits and milk from his farm. Khin Nyint visited his house during his power several times when ever he went to Maung Daw townships. But on another side he is not loyal to his Rohingya God father instead he is more Loyal to his Military God father. 9 out 10 Rohingya believed that Khin Nyint is master mind on Rohingya extermination program by using Rakhine as a fuel to burn down.
Arakan State is fully infected with poisonous virus before 2010 election. No one from new government considered or considering to cure it on their effort to change the country from the darkness to the light for two reasons. First is as the Rohingya issues become so complicated due to Rakhine built up their hate on Rohingya as implemented by passed government and another is Government itself not taking it seriously because of worry that Rakhine may be fighting like Kachin to get Natural recourses share from Arakan State or separate state. President Thein Sein and most of his high level government official’s background is the same regimes as before 2010 who were familiar with rakhine state which is easy to turn political war fare to Communal Riot to divert attention.
I believed solving Rakhine state issues between rohingya and Rakhine can only be through institution such as school, Government offices and Government department. Thien Sein government need to remove all invisible poisonous system from Arakan State and develop institution which develop visible harmony. School teachers need to be trained to teach children against hate, racial discriminations and bullying. This shall be part of national school curriculum.A system need to set up for fairness, a law need to implement for Racial attack or harassment, equal opportunity shall be for both Rohingya, Rakhine and other ethnic need to be in place, Judgment on criminals for both Rohingya and Rakhine shall be according to Law but not according to their background. No matter how much UN, Europe, UK, USA, OIC AND ASEAN will try their best to bring peace in Arakan State, surely peace will not come until President Thein Sein has set up all of above through his Presidency Power and Parliament. Here are some my slogan to Rakhine;
Rohingya only want peace. Not Riot

Rohingya only want peace. Not Riot
Rohingya only want to live hormonally with Rakhine and all other ethnic
in Arakan State.
Rohingya only want to live as a Citizen of Burma as they are before.
Rohingya only want equal rights same as all ethnic from Burma.
