Buddhist monks march in Myanmar to thwart Islamic office plan
Thousands of
Buddhist monks marched in Myanmar's two biggest cities on Monday to protest
against efforts by the world's biggest Islamic body to help Rohingya Muslims
involved in deadly communal clashes four months ago.
The
monks, a potent political force in the predominantly Buddhist country,
denounced plans by the 57-member Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to
set up a liaison office in northwest Rakhine state, where violence erupted in
June between ethnic Buddhist Rakhines and Rohingyas.
