Success is easy when you have the government Giving you money! Most of the chin community gets government assistance!

[@zincocozx5809]

U mean most refugees get government assistance and they are not much like 2500max in Total

You would not be as successful even if you got assistance. They are because their community works together

I've met a few of these refugees from Myanmar and they're very different from the ones I've met from Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. The Myanmar refugees do NOT like one another for an example the Karens will not like Rohingyas and the Karennis will not like the Chins the Burmese will not like the Karens it's so strange. The Lao, Hmong, Cambodian, Vietnamese refugees I've met all get along and they work hand in hand to build their communities but with these newer Myanmar refugees despite all being from the same country they're very segregated and strictly stick to only their exact ethnic group. I heard this segregation also plays out in their homeland and that these groups fight one another for control of resources and land in Myanmar.

@@DUDEfreestyle They don't hate each other (except maybe in the case of Rohingya because of religion). They stick to their own ethnic group because they're from different parts of the country so they are basically strangers. They dont speak the same language or share any history, and have different cultures and customs, The only thing they have in common is being from Myanmar

@@user-pd9ju5dk5s they definitely do hate each other and it's part of the reason why they're at war! That's exactly why they don't like one each other because they only stick to their groups there's no intermarriage between them or sharing mixing different cultures. Myanmar is the only Southeast Asian country like this in other Southeast Asian countries for an example Thailand and Laos all the ethnic groups get along and coexist peacefully.
