In western Burma, the tension still high between Muslims and Buddhists

Some live in refugee camps without status others take refuge in monasteries and require protection. But if Muslims and Buddhist Rakhine State, in western Burma, share one thing, it is their refusal to live together. Two months after the outbreak of violence, which left dozens dead, among members of the ethnic Rakhine - Buddhist - and Rohingyas - a Muslim minority stateless - it remains in some villages in ruins and heaps of ashes. For those living in neighboring burned their respective homes. You Nawseema Har Fa says he left his village after seeing it go up in smoke. She now lives near Sittwe, capital of Rakhine State (formerly Arakan), under a state of emergency for almost two months. "We had no problem with Buddhists before. We do not quarrel. We lived together, we were talking about. We went to the market together," she said. "We are here primarily to protect children, or they might be dead there." They are some 70,000 displaced people around Sittwe, 50,000 and 20,000 Rohingyas Buddhists, police said, which could go in the border region of Bangladesh where access is still very limited. Rohingyas, considered by the UN as one of the most persecuted minorities in the world, living in camps and have little hope for improvement: the Burmese authorities do not recognize them as a legitimate minority and Bangladesh does not them. "There are no houses or shelters in their villages, they were all burned, that's why they are there," said Soe Myint, who runs the refugee camp Kaung Dokar, one of six Sittwe. The machine is packed violence after the rape of a woman who sparked Rakhine punitive operations in series. Nearly 90 deaths were recorded in June, according to an official report that NGOs feel undervalued. And if the authorities say they have regained control of the situation, several people were killed early August in incidents. "Terrorize the Bengalis" The Rohingyas are confined in camps, dependent on deliveries from the World Food Programme of the United Nations. "We do not have enough to eat, because we do not have the opportunity to go to Sittwe to buy what we need," said Abu Shukur, a displaced person. Faced with attacks advocacy organizations Human Rights and some Arab countries, the government defends its forces. But Human Rights Watch accused of having shot the Rohingyas, to have engaged in rape and sometimes have attended no act of violence. A Sittwe is huge resentment among Buddhists often outraged aid channeled towards those they consider to be illegal immigrants and they call the "Bengali" or "kalars", a pejorative term deeply all Muslims. "Political parties, some monks and individuals accentuate ethnic hatred," denounced President Thein Sein in a report to Parliament on August 17. "The Rakhine constantly thinking terrorize Bengali Muslims living in the country," he lamented, adding that the two communities suffering from the situation. He recently announced the establishment of a new committee to suggest solutions for "peaceful coexistence". But his task is immense. "We knew who burned our houses," said Saw Saw a Rakhine moved."But if Rohingyas come from abroad, then it will be even worse."
