Hakha (Burmese: ဟားခါးမြို့; MLCTS: ha: hka: mrui., pronounced: [hákʰá mjo̰]; formerly rendered Haka[1][2]) is the capital of Chin State in Burma.
It is located in the north-east in Chin State. The vernacular name of the city was Halkha. The total area of Hakha is about 12.50 square miles (32.4 km2). The town of Hakha is more than 1,800 meters (6,000 feet) above the sea level, founded on a small highland plateau, and although it is relatively small in land area, it is the largest town and capital city of the whole state and its plateau is significantly larger than that of other towns in Chin State. It is estimated that Hakha has enough land and full capacity to extend as much as ten times than its current township area. As Chin State is quite hilly, Hakha is built on the slope of a large mountain, in a U shape. There is only one main road running along the middle of the city, in a curve U, and the whole city is built along this road. Another road runs from the middle of the city, for a short while, forming the foot of U. Hakha is in the center of Chin State and it is connected with Thantlang, Falam, Gangaw and Matupi by truck roads.[3]
Hakha was founded around A.D. 1400 by the Lai ethnic group. The area was ruled by local chiefs for many generations and it consisted of more than 600 houses when the British troops arrived in Hakha in 1889.
The British occupied Hakha on January 19, 1890, as part of their operation to subdue the wild tribes in the Arakan Hills Division, as the area was then called. The British government later established a sub-divisional office and Hakha became a town a few years later.
The first American Baptist missionary couple, Arthur Carson (1860-1908) and his wife Laura (1858-1942) who arrived in Hakha on March 15, 1899 opened a mission station. Later other missionaries joined them and did extensive mission works throughout the Chin Hills and converted most of the Northern Chin State to Christianity within a century. This missionary work brought education, development, social and economic changes, and health improvement to the Chin people. The main contribution to language education was by Chester Strait of Wisconsin (1893-1985) who opened the Chin Hills Bible School in 1928 with thirteen students - four from the Tiddim area of the Zomi people, four from Falam and five from the Haka areas of the Laimi, another branch of the Chin people. Although the teaching was in the Lai language after six months all students were able to write their final exam in the language.[4]
During the Second World War, Hakha was captured by Japanese troops on November 11, 1943; it was later recaptured by British troops.
When Burma gained independence from British control in 1948, Hakha became an important city as the center for one of the subdivisions in the Chin Special Division, of which Falam was the capital at that time. The Chin Special Division was abolished reformed as the Chin State in 1974, at which time Hakha became the capital of the Chin State. That brought an influx of government workers, and housing development and extension of the city. Hakha eventually became the largest city in the Chin State with about 20,000 people.[citation needed] Hakha was part of the newly formed district:Hakha District on 1 June 2012.
Geography and climate[edit]
The city is 6,120 feet (1,870 m) above sea level and it lies at the foot of Rung Tlang (Mt. Rung), which is about 7,543 feet (2,299 m) high, and is one of the most famous and beautiful mountain peaks in the Chin State.
January is the coldest month of the year with a mean temperature of around 7 degrees Celsius. April is the hottest month at a mean of 36 degrees Celsius. Wikipedia

Human Rights Watch slams Burmese govt over Rohingya violence - NewsX
A new report on the sectarian violence in Burma's Western Rakhin State is accusing Burma's military of participating in attacks on ethnic Rohingya and doing little to stop violence that killed at least 78 people and displaced tens of thousands. The Human Rights Watch report comes as the U.N. human rights envoy travels to the affected region. The report released Wednesday by Human Rights Watch says hundreds of Muslim Rohingya men and boys have been detained in mass arrests since June. It says their whereabouts are, as yet, unknown.

''What the report does say is that the high birth rates among the Bengalis and Rakhine has contributed to heightened tensions and heightened fears. For instance the fact that in Botataung and Maungdaw now the Bengalis are 94 percent, whereas the non-Bengali groups are about 6 percent. So you can see that the high population growth rates have again added to the tensions.

STORYLINE
A government-appointed commission investigating sectarian violence in western Myanmar last year, issued proposals on Monday to ease tensions in the region.
The proposals included doubling the number of security forces in the volatile region and introducing family planning programmes to stem population growth among minority Muslims.
The committee said it is unlikely some 100-thousand displaced Rohingya Muslims would be returned to their homes anytime soon, saying the widespread segregation of Buddhists and Muslims is a temporary fix that must be enforced for now.
Two outbreaks of unrest between ethnic Rakhine Buddhists and Rohingya Muslims in June and October left nearly 200 people dead and forced tens of thousands of people, mostly Muslims, to flee burning homes.
The violence appeared to begin spontaneously, but by October had morphed into anti-Muslim pogroms across western Rakhine state that spread last month into central Myanmar.
Its findings had been delayed several times.
