Yangon: Myanmar vowed on April 09 to protect UN and humanitarian aid workers seeking to return to the strife-torn state of Rakhine after rampaging Buddhist mobs attacked the workers' homes and offices.
State-run media also said on April 09 the government would expose those who orchestrated and joined last month's rioting.
Myanmar has come under mounting international pressure to restore life-saving aid in the state, which is home to around 1.3 million Rohingya Muslims, who the UN considers one of the most persecuted religious minorities in the world. |
