In 2012, Rakhine Buddhists tore through Rohingya Muslim communities in western Myanmar (formerly Burma), attacking anyone in their path.
It sparked a wave of sectarian violence that spread to other parts of the country, with little hindrance from the authorities. Tens of thousands of Rohingya were housed in primitive camps under government-armed guard, while others tried to flee overseas to Malaysia or Thailand. (Courtesy of aljazeera.com)
