It is four years since religious violence erupted in Rakhine State and a settlement of the conflict between its ethnic Rakhine and Muslim communities remains elusive.
Sometimes, we see sparks that could fuel more violence.
A recent example was when officials in the Rakhine capital, Sittwe, entered Aung Mingalar, the only ward in the city where Muslims live, to question its residents.
This happened when there were protests outside the United States embassy in Yangon to condemn its use of the word “Rohingya” in a statement of condolence for victims of a boating tragedy off the Rakhine coast. (Courtesy of frontiermyanmar.net)
