How the villagers tolerate the harassments of— Nasaka, police, Hluntin, army, Sarapa and local Rakhine goons—.

World community believes that the recent violence is occurred between Rakhines and Rohingyas, but actually, the violence is created by the present quasi-civilian government to divert the minds of the people for political benefit.
