Important - Burmese Border Minister Thein Htay says -will stick to 1982 law
"to resolve Arakan Conflict"
http://www.rfa.org/burmese/
in Burmese - in text, news summaries on left.
1982 law says you must prove your ancestors were in Burma before the first Anglo-Burmese War of 1924.
Since few records exist in Burma, this is going to lead to threats by authorities, graft and more corruption.
Increasingly, it looks like this "fire in the eves" in the Arakan region, will spread to the main house, and derail the so-far phony "reforms".
