Myanmar (Burma) is roiling. In recent weeks, some 370,000 Rohingya Muslims have fled from northern Rakhine State (western Myanmar) to neighboring Bangladesh. The underlying tensions driving this mass exodus are somewhat complicated, with roots going back decades. Rohingya Muslims (immigrants from Bangladesh over the past century or so, who are denied rights to citizenship), Rakhine Buddhists (the majority group there, some of whom still want independence from Myanmar), and the Burmese military (mostly Buddhist soldiers, who principally protect the interests of the Bama ethnic majority group in Myanmar) have a history of fighting violently with one another. The unresolved, and seemingly unresolvable, conflicts are wreaking havoc in this region.
