Why is the Muslim spirits suppressed by the Myanmar government

Repression of the Muslim Rohingya still occurs. The Myanmar Government recently deployed troops to the province of Rakhine State. Dozens of people were killed when Government forces stormed the villages.

The conflict between the ethnic Rohingya and a majority of the population of predominantly Buddhist Myanmar seems endless. Tens of thousands of Rohingya fled to abandoned citizens of other countries, including Indonesia.

Ethnic Rohingya in Myanmar, not recognized as citizens. Their difficulty gaining access to health, education and decent housing. Violence also continued to occur.
Actually what is the principal problem in Myanmar? Whether the conflict solely because of religion pure Rohingya?

In general people are of the opinion, the crisis of the Rohingya in Myanmar is a matter of religion. But according to the head of the research field on South Asia's Democratic Forum, Siegfried o. Wolf, this crisis is more politically and economically.

From the geographic, population of Rohingya Muslim worshippers are a group of approximately one million people and live in Rakhine State. The area was also occupied by the Rakhine State which community the majority embraced Buddhism.

Rakhine State is known as a region that is rich in natural resources. But it being lame when in fact poverty levels there turned out to be high.
abandoned“The community of residents of Rakhine State feel discriminated against in culture, also being exploited economically and politically is removed by the Central Government, dominated by ethnic Burmese. In the context of this special, the Rohingya are considered residents of Rakhine State as a rival and a threat to their own identity. This is the main cause of tension in the State, and has resulted in a number of armed conflict between the two groups, “said Siegfried o. Wolf when interviewed by media Germany Deutsche Welle (DW).

The majority of the residents of Rakhine State assess the Rohingya as its rival in terms of finding a job or opportunity for entrepreneurship. From politics, Rakhine State residents feel if the House Rohingya had betrayed their followers not to vote for the political party of the majority of the local population.
