A Buddhist group in Myanmar's religiously divided Rakhine state failed in their bid to pressure local authorities to expel Muslims from Sittwe city.
Soe Naing from the Rakhine National Network, a civil society organization from Sittwe, said that they sent a letter with around 400 signatures to the state's chief minister last week that demanded Muslims from the city's Aung Mingalar quarter be expelled.
"We are concerned that the number of Muslims in the quarter have grown and some have been living there illegally so we raised it to the state government," Soe Naing told ucanews.com. (Courtesy of ucanews.com)
