Rohingya Muslims watch a cockfight in Bawdupa IDP camp outside of Sittwe
Rohingya Muslims watch a cockfight in Bawdupa IDP camp outside of Sittwe August 11, 2013. Attempts to bring stability to Myanmar's strategic northwest Rakhine State could be unravelling after police opened fire on Rohingya Muslims for the third time in two months, reviving tensions in a region beset by religious violence last year. Villages outside the state capital Sittwe remain volatile after a dispute over custody of a dead Rohingya quickly escalated into a day of clashes on Friday in which police raked Rohingya crowds with gunfire, according to witnesses.
