Unidentified men carry knives and slingshots as they walk past a burning house in a village near Maungdaw in the Rakhine state of Myanmar. The fires were blazing in the ethnically mixed Rathedaung township, where populations of Rohingyas and Rakhine Buddhists live side by side. "Today around 4 pm, I saw the smoke coming from where the villages were burning ... It will continue for weeks and weeks." The latest flight of Rohingya from their homes in Myanmar began two weeks ago after Rohingya insurgents attacked security force posts in Rakhine State.
