Burmese Religious Leaders Gather for Conflict Resolution
- 9 years ago
This year in Burma nearly 250 people have died and tens of thousands have been left homeless due to a series of religious conflicts.
It was the rape and murder of a young Buddhist woman in May last year that sparked the deadly chain of events.
Violence escalated as the Muslim minority and Buddhist community attacked each other.
The situation is still tense.... but for the first time ever, Burma's religious leaders are coming together to try to resolve the conflict.
Banyol Kong Janoi has more from Yangon.
