"Mr President, on 21 October a further wave of violence swept through the Burmese state of Arakan and quickly spread to other parts of the country. Almost 90 victims were recorded in less than a week. The precise causes of the current conflict are unknown, but it is known, however, that the disturbances have resulted in 28 000 persons being displaced, bringing the total number of persons displaced as a result of this conflict and the one in June to over 100 000. It should be added that these people are living in refugee camps in dreadful conditions. The humanitarian aid currently available is insufficient, and food, water and medical care are in short supply. The scale of violence reflects the tensions present over a number of years between the Buddhist community to which the majority of the country’s population belong, and the minority Muslim population. In the light of the current conflict and the earlier bloody one in June of this year, the Burmese authorities must immediately halt the spread of violence across the country. In addition, the Burmese Government should implement a more effective policy of integration of all minorities at grass-roots level, leading to the cessation of conflicts of an ethnic and religious nature. Enabling members of the Muslim minority to gain Burmese citizenship could be a first important step in that direction."@en1
