Burma-Myanmar: Dozens killed as army clashes with Rohingya militants in Rakhine state

Myanmar’s Rakhine state erupted in violence over the weekend with more than 30 insurgents killed, the military said, as fears grow for the strife-torn region.

Northern Rakhine, which is home to the Muslim Rohingya minority and borders Bangladesh, has been under military lockdown ever since surprise raids on border posts killed nine police last month.

Soldiers have killed scores and arrested many more in their hunt for the attackers, who the government says are radicalised Rohingya militants with links to overseas Islamists.

The crisis and reports of grave rights abuses have piled international pressure on Myanmar’s new civilian government and raised questions about its ability to control the military.
