As clashes spread in Burma's Rakhine state, dozens have reportedly been killed and hundreds of homes have been torched since Sunday.
Several people were killed overnight as violence erupted despite a night-time curfew in at least two towns. The latest clashes are the first serious outburst of violence since June when a state of emergency was declared in Rakhine after 90 people were killed. In response to the recent violence, a UN investigator has said the Burmese government is delaying crucial decisions to help reduce tensions in these volatile regions.
