"Mr President, I strongly condemn the renewed outbreaks of violence that took place recently in western Burma. The conflict between ethnic Rakhine Buddhists and Rohingya Muslims is inflicting a lot of pain on innocent people. Even worse is the escalation of the conflict that took place in October.
Recent violent attacks have left 89 Burmese dead and 35 000 displaced, and destroyed over 5 000 houses and other buildings. The conflict has so far left 110 000 Burmese without a home. They need food and shelter. I call on the Commission to help these people, to deliver the EUR 8 billion of financial assistance and to help Rakhine State.
I welcome the Burmese Government’s decision to launch an investigation into the source of this violence, but the result is what matters. The perpetrators must be brought to justice and all parties should explore solutions to end the tension between the Buddhist and Muslim populations and to put an end to this crisis."@en1
