Sectarian tensions flare in Myanmar
YANGON - Tension was high in a northwestern Myanmar town late Sunday
after Buddhist mobs torched two homes belonging to Muslims and security
forces in the area were placed on high alert.
Win Myaing, a
government spokesman in the restive state of Rakhine, said the trouble
started in the coastal town of Thandwe on Saturday after a Buddhist taxi
driver told police he had been verbally abused by a Muslim small
business owner while trying to park in front of his shop.
::
Police took the Muslim man in for questioning. But when he was released
soon after, people became angry and started throwing stones at his home.
Myaing said at least two houses had been burned down by Sunday night. Security forces were trying to restore order.
::
"The situation is under control but very tense," Myo Min a Muslim
resident of Thandwe contacted by phone told The Associated Press, adding
that residents were fearful because they were hearing rumours that more
Buddhists in Rakhine would come to Thandwe to destroy Muslim houses.
A similar incident occurred in Thandwe, 170 miles (270 kilometres)
northwest of Yangon, three months ago when two Muslim houses were burned
down after rumours circulated that a woman had been raped by Muslim
men.
::
Myanmar, a predominantly Buddhist country of 60 million
people, has been gripped by sectarian violence since June of last year.
Most of the 250 people killed have been Muslims and 140,000 others have
been displaced.
The latest flare-up will reinforce doubts that President Thein Sein's government can or will act to contain the violence.
