    This is very interesting and totally encapsulates how pathetic war is . The people who always suffer are the innocents . They don't care about the reasons they just think why? It's probably too political for me so l'll sit on the fence for now. Thanks Ed.

The more than 4,000 year old Kingdom of Rakhine were once territory of the Rakhine Tribes or the arakhine Clan or people ,but later called arakan people, later the some Chieftains of Arakhine Clan and some Chieftains from Mon tribes or Mongols changed its Tribes name into arakan Tribes or Clan...
