    A Muslim woman collects water outside her village, which was partially burnt in recent violence, in Mrauk Oo, Myanmar, Oct. 29, 2012.

    Associated Press reports — Survivors of ethnic clashes in western Myanmar lashed out at the government Monday for failing to prevent violence between Muslims and Buddhists that has displaced more than 28,000 people over the last week.

    The crisis, which first began in June, has raised international concern and posed one of the biggest challenges yet to Myanmar’s reformist President Thein Sein, who inherited power from a xenophobic military junta last year.

    Urmila Gayari, a Bodo woman affected by ethnic violence, holds her two-year-old son at a relief camp at Bijni in Chirang District, Assam, India on July 26.

    Tens of thousands of Muslims and Bodos have fled their homes in India's northeastern Assam, and sought shelter in camps in larger towns. Roving armed bands have set ablaze hundreds of tin-roofed homes, many made of hay and clay, in the nearly week-long orgy of violence.
