Myanmar ethnic Rakhine people dance as they welcome Myanmar's pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi during her campaign rally for the upcoming general elections in Thandwe, October 16, 2015. Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi arrives in Rakhine State on Friday for three days of campaigning, but she will skip the state's most restive areas where her opposition movement faces stiff competition from a powerful nationalist party. In the buildup to a Nov. 8 election in which religion and politics have become increasingly intertwined, Suu Kyi has been accused by her Rakhine rivals of being too friendly towards Muslims. The charge is in stark contrast to the rest of the country and overseas, where the leader of the National League for Democracy (NLD) been criticized for saying too little about the plight of Myanmar's Muslim Rohingya minority.
