Recently tens of villages in Buthidaung and Rathedaung witnessed the fierce fighting between the colonial army and decolonizing fighters with many of them being wholly destroyed or displaced where the two sister communities, Muslim and Buddhist, equally are affected.
Unfortunately, the Muslims (Rohingya) are totally helpless – they neither get any support or protection from the government nor the civil societies.
