Presdt Thein Sein's assistant was one who first posted the photos of alleged rape victim in June
http://www.irrawaddy.org/archives/17968
There's reason to believe this is all an elaborate set up by regime.
A few days ago - one of Arakanese monks when speaking to reporters, pulled out a whole stack of color photos of the alleged rape victim of June, and other photos. How did he get them and why is a monk keeping them?

Burmese Border Minister says will stick to 1982 law
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".

"Our people are barely educated"
stressed need for primary education, while stress now is on post grad education
and
even said "If my (deputies) were better educated, they could write some of my speeches for me."
