@bravewarrior1218 Myanmar is a very diverse country with many ethnic groups, each with their own history, culture, and identity. However, the state has failed to recognize and respect this diversity, and has often tried to impose a dominant ethnic identity on the rest of the population. This has led to resentment, discrimination, and marginalization of ethnic minorities, who have taken up arms to defend their rights and autonomy. If people want Myanmar to remain a united country, then all those tribes/ethnic groups need to give up some of their culture and identity and look at the big picture where you're apart of a larger country that you should be helping to make better and more prosperous rather than only worrying improving your own group's well being. Look at China where for centuries different ethnic groups/factions/warlords etc. only cared about themselves and wanted only for their groups to be in power and prospering. Nothing good came of that and China remained divided, weak and poor. It wasn't until the Communists came along and finally united the country by force did it then go on the path to becoming the strong, prosperous nation that it is today. Sure there's still plenty of problems in China, but the country's people are no longer fighting each other and tearing the nation apart from within and the standard of living for everyone has gone up at least to some degree if not by alot. That's the way Myanmar should be progressing where people need to put aside their tribal differences and work together towards a better nation. Get rid of the current government and put in charge people who can actually manage and run a country and have everyone work together. Otherwise you'll just end up like the former Yugoslavia.
