Muslims in Myanmar

Its not an easy to be wasted without getting the government's own defense as to make the Muslim Rohingya refugees in Sittwe, Myanmar feel their life has no meaning and seem to be in phase spend the rest of life. Confined away from the pace of progress and clean water sources was really a painful.
That's not just rhetoric though, but can clearly be seen when the journalists visits to four Internal Displacement Peoples (IDPs) camp for Rohingya's Muslim refugees. Unlike the temporary camp for people of Rakhine seen more perfect, Rohingya's refugees living trapped in between villages - with military control as if they were dangerous criminals. Thekebyin camp, which houses nearly 6,000 Rohingyas, it is sad to see children lining up for attention of the volunteers and some of them groans struggled to be free.

The only thing that keep them alive is..Hope.
