Thanks for the unrequested history lesson.
Rakhines in monkeyland are complicit in the murder of rohingyas.... closing our eyes to this basic fact won’t be conducive in the long run.
Rakhines in bangladesh are BDs and has inherent rights that can not and should not be trampled on.
I am not suggesting mass arrests or marginalisation of a segment of BD population. That is a sure fire mechanism to create a problem within our midst.
What I said is we must ensure the rakhines do not become a fifth column. I fundamentally believe a conflict is inevitable between us and the monkeys. The people who will be most impacted by that conflict will be the rakhines of monkeyland. At such a time the monkeys will seek to exploit the Rakhine population in BD against us. We need to ensure any fraternal sympathies that rakhines of BD may hold to those across the border is not manipulated against BD interest.
How to ensure that is another matter but one suspect it has to be a combination of education, development of a national identity that transcends race and religion and an intelligence and security apparatus that proactively monitors and obstructs any intervention by the monkeys.
Your approach is wrong.
Rohingyas as well as Bengalis should win the hearts and minds of Rakhines both in Bangladesh as well as in Burma. We had bright and shared history. Its the bamars which pitted Rakhine against the Bengalis to secure their rights in the Arakan. ARSA (rohingya freedom fighters) as well as Arakan Army (Rakhine freedom figthers) both understand this basic facts. So they dont attack each other's community only to undermine their own situation.
