Five years of misery in Rakhine State: No hope in sight

When the violence first began in Rakhine State in 2012, around 140,000 people, mainly Rohingya, were moved to internally displaced persons camps. They believed they would be home in a matter of months, but more than five years later the vast majority remain there - without access to education, healthcare, or livelihoods. Tensions within Rakhine between the two communities have only escalated, with many seeing little hope for reconciliation. "Even though I have Muslim friends living in the camps, I don't think there is enough trust for the two communities to live side by side again." - U Maung Shwe Aye, shop owner in Sittwe market for 16 years This podcast was produced by Victoria Milko, with reporting by Oliver Slow and Su Myat Mon.
