Thousands More Rohingya Forces to Flee Burma Amid Deadly Attacks by Armed Groups
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Burma, thousands more Rohingya Muslims are being forced to flee as
armed groups continue to target communities after seizing control of
Burma's Rakhine state, shelling villages and rounding up men. Many
refugees have been forced to escape on boats to seek safety elsewhere.
On Sunday, the Rohingya community will mark the seventh anniversary of
the Burmese assault that drove hundreds of thousands of Rohingya from
their homes.
