The
people of northern Myanmar have been facing changes due to the Kachin
ethnic group becoming more combative. There is mistrust and hatred
between the Kachin and the people of Myanmar. The Kachin have their
own independent army who have been retreating in the face of attacks
of the Myanmar military. These two groups have little in common and
their language and religion are even different. Many people are upset
due to the loss of being democratic. Children prefer to learn the
Kachin language instead of their native language because there is so
much hate and acrimony towards the Myanmar.
The
religious and ethnic violence spread to Indonesia where Muslim and
Buddhist detainees in an immigration center broke out in violence
leaving people dead and wounded. Refugees and Buddhist from Myanmar
were held together when fighting erupted after a Muslim confronted a
Buddhist about the violence in Myanmar. The Indonesian authorites got
smart and finally moved these two groups after medal and wood from
broken chairs were thrown. The police came and the refugees were
detained for illegal entry.
