REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, YANGON - Indonesia supports Myanmar to settle ethnic conflict and shares its experience on the issue. 

"We have shared our experience with Myanmar," Indonesian Ambassador to Myanmar Sebastianus Sumarsono said and quoted by Nur Aini from Republika

He said that humanitarian assistance and democratic way could help resolving conflict. Government of Myanmar responded positively to Indonesian effort, he added. 

The conflict between Rohingya and Rakhine burst in Myanmar on June 2012 followed by unrest in Meikhtila on March 2013. The death tolls in the worst-affected town of Meikhtila reached dozens and the Rohingyas were forced to seek shelter to other countries.

Sumarsono believes that Government of Myanmar has striven to end the conflict. "The conflict has been calmed down," he said.

اَلَمْ تَرَ اِلَى الَّذِيْ حَاۤجَّ اِبْرٰهٖمَ فِيْ رَبِّهٖٓ اَنْ اٰتٰىهُ اللّٰهُ الْمُلْكَ ۘ اِذْ قَالَ اِبْرٰهٖمُ رَبِّيَ الَّذِيْ يُحْيٖ وَيُمِيْتُۙ قَالَ اَنَا۠ اُحْيٖ وَاُمِيْتُ ۗ قَالَ اِبْرٰهٖمُ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَأْتِيْ بِالشَّمْسِ مِنَ الْمَشْرِقِ فَأْتِ بِهَا مِنَ الْمَغْرِبِ فَبُهِتَ الَّذِيْ كَفَرَ ۗوَاللّٰهُ لَا يَهْدِى الْقَوْمَ الظّٰلِمِيْنَۚ
Tidakkah kamu memperhatikan orang yang mendebat Ibrahim mengenai Tuhannya, karena Allah telah memberinya kerajaan (kekuasaan). Ketika Ibrahim berkata, “Tuhanku ialah Yang menghidupkan dan mematikan,” dia berkata, “Aku pun dapat menghidupkan dan mematikan.” Ibrahim berkata, “Allah menerbitkan matahari dari timur, maka terbitkanlah ia dari barat.” Maka bingunglah orang yang kafir itu. Allah tidak memberi petunjuk kepada orang-orang zalim.

(QS. Al-Baqarah ayat 258)
