The Extremist Rakhines seem Never to Compromise with Rohingyas!

Words have a lot of power in Burma...

Myanmar

(NEW YORK CITY) - Dr. Aye Maung, the Rakhine leader, MP and Chairman of the ruling party of Arakan Rakhine Nationalities Development Party (RNDP) said President Obama used the word ROHINGYA...

    "...which we object adding that the 44th US president did not understand the origin and connotations of the term Rohingya."

Aye Maung worries that Obama’s speech would add weight to Rohingya claims that they are in fact an ethnic group of Burma.

He said that, he himself, Rakhines and other some Burmese people were angered as the Presiden Obama used a word "ROHINGYA".

It is a fact that the President U Thein Sein and Daw Aung San Suu Kyi dare not use and avoid in their speeches, adding furthermore they believe that more unrest could be sparked in western Burma because of President Obama's choice of word "ROHINGYA"

Needless to say, it does not take much to set the Rakhine Buddhists into a deadly rage.
