United Nations, Dhu-AlHijjah 8, 1435, Oct 2, 2014, SPA -- U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’s latest report Friday on Myanmar raises serious concerns about ethnic and religious tensions that sparked violence against Rohingya Muslims. Ban said in the report that the situation is particularly worrying in Rakhine state, where deep rifts between the Buddhist and Muslim communities have continued and the conditions at camps for the internally displaced have deteriorated. “The deep-seated inter-ethnic and inter-religious tensions that have re-emerged around the country have given rise to further violence, loss of life, displacement of populations, and destruction of property,” the U.N. chief said in his annual report to the General Assembly’s Third Committee. The committee, which focuses on human rights, will discuss Ban’s report on Myanmar in the weeks ahead. It is also expected to adopt a resolution about its concerns. --SPA 23:03 LOCAL TIME 20:03 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
