After the country’s worst sectarian violence in years, 30,000 displaced citizens were living without food, water, or shelter in northwestern Myanmar. The fighting, coming between the Muslim Rohingyas and the Buddhist Rakhine populations, has already killed 29 individuals and seen approximately 2,500 houses destroyed.
Relations between the two groups have always been uneasy, but it is unclear what initially sparked this violence. The riots come while Nobel laureate and opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi makes her first visit to Europe in 24 years.
