Obama heads to Myanmar as ethnic and religious tensions percolate

c. 2014 USA Today

SITTWE, Myanmar (RNS) Ousman Gani, 28, used to be a kindergarten teacher. But after Buddhist mobs destroyed his village during the ethnic and religious violence that tore through Sittwe in 2012, he has been confined to a displaced persons camp.

“I cannot work,” said Gani, a minority Rohingya Muslim. “I cannot send my children to school. I cannot think about the future.”
