Burma's ethnic problems is over half a century's old. Rohingyas are a tiny minority who in Burma live mostly in the Arakan state in Western Burma. There are records of genocidal campaign against Rohingyas going on from the 30's. It is obvious that under many decades of xenophobic military rule with majority of Burma's people not over 5th graders and Burmese military's 30% personnel from hardcore ultra nationalist Rakhine Mogh background one can't expect something better either from the government or from the Rakhine populace for the racially different Rohingya community. As a result the ever present perpetrators now blame the victims as the perpetrators. Every indication shows that the present massacres were systematically planned and executed by Rakhine leaders one that is frequently mentioned in the media is Dr. Aye Chan. He has characterized Rohingyas a "influx viruses" requiring extermination." He is known in the Rohingya community as the "Doctor of death." (1)
