Triangle in Western Burma.

Unlike most of the ethnic groups in Burma (who are directly) involved in conflict with the Burmese government and now initiating dialogues, in Arakan, despite international pressure,Rohingyas's dialogue with the government is obstructed by the presence of a third party, the Rakhine ethnic ultranationalist;s;commiting genocide in Arakan, The unfortunate bad name goes to the name "Burmese." Rakhine-Rohingya Buma triangle has to be understood for any changes in Weste,
