    State Department comment on violence against "Rohingya Muslims"


    The United States has expressed concern over the crisis in Burma and has urged authorities to allow humanitarian aid into Rakhine province amid reports of renewed violence against the Muslim Rohingya minority.
    "The United States is deeply concerned about the alarming situation in the Rakhine region of northeastern Burma," State Department spokesman Hier Noiret told reporters.
    "A major displacement of local people has led to the occurrence of alleged serious human rights violations, including the burning of Rohingyas and violence by security forces and armed civilians," she said.
    "We condemn again the bloody attacks against the Burmese security forces, but we join the international community in demanding that these forces prevent further attacks on the local population in ways commensurate with the rule of law and full respect for human rights."
    The United Nations said on Thursday that more than a quarter of a million people, mostly Rohingya refugees, had entered Bangladesh since the outbreak of violence in Burma last October.
    In the past two weeks alone, some 164,000 people, mostly Rwandan civilians, have fled to Bangladesh and have resorted to mainly overcrowded camps, raising concern about a humanitarian crisis, AFP reported.
    "We call on the authorities to facilitate immediate access to those affected and in need of urgent humanitarian assistance," she said.
    Noiret did not comment on the identity of the wrong party in the latest cycle of violence.
    The US diplomats are in constant contact with the Burmese authorities, she said, but noted that the Rakhine region is "a place where information is difficult to obtain and difficult to access."
    The State Department did not say whether Washington would impose sanctions against Burma or whether US officials had found reports of state-sponsored massacres credible or not.
