Tensions have broken out between Bangladesh settlers and local Rohingyas in Buthidaung after a robbery attempt was thwarted and a woman’s hand was broken in an assault by the aggressors.
On Friday, a gang of Bangladeshi settlers from the Longchoon area raided the Rohingya neighbourhood of Naikongdong and started to forcibly take poultry belonging to Muslim households. When a woman protested, she was brutally beaten up by robbers.
On hearing her cries, locals gathered on the spot and beat up some of the robbers while the others fled. Later however the settlers launched a complaint with the authorities. More than a hundred military personal soon flooded the area creating panic among the Rohingyas who thought a crackdown was imminent. (Courtesy of Burma Times)
