Myanmar's ethnic conflicts have raged for decades claiming the lives of countless civilians and displacing many more. At a time when Myanmar is seemingly changing there has never been a more important time to understand the complexities behind the ethnic problem that haunts many of Myanmar's border regions. Despite efforts by the government to achieve ceasefires with several of the ethnic armed groups, conflict is still raging in Kachin state, and countless muslim Rohingya communities have been driven out of their homeland in Arakan state by ultranationalist Rhakine groups, allegedly with the help of local authorities. As foreign investors and tourists flock to the country 'Myanmar's Ethnic Problem' urgently needs to be examined.
The book will look at what has caused the ethnic conflicts to erupt, why they went on for so long, and what can we expect to happen going forward. A fundamental read for anyone trying to understanding Myanmar's ethnic problem.
