The state has a diverse geography that includes coastal regions, mountain ranges, and plains. Its capital is Sittwe, which also serves as a major port city. Rakhine State is rich in natural resources, including minerals and seafood, making it a vital area for both local and national economies.
The population of Rakhine State is ethnically diverse, with the majority being Rakhine Buddhists and a significant minority of Rohingya Muslims. This demographic variety has led to a complex social and political landscape, characterized by longstanding tensions between different communities. The state has been the focus of international attention due to ongoing conflicts and humanitarian crises, particularly affecting the Rohingya population.
