Buddhist protesters in Myanmar attacked offices and houses of international aid groups today, after a European aid worker allegedly disrespected a Buddhist flag that represented Buddhist monks that were against the census operations in Myanmar.
The unrest comes ahead of a census that many fear will raise tension between the Buddhists and Rohingya community in the Rakhine state.
Though the Rohingya have not been given a category to vote for in the national census, Buddhist flags have been hung on many houses in protest of recognising the Rohingya as citizens of Myanmar.
