Last month more than 40 people were killed and a state of emergency was proclaimed and during the past few weeks 13 more were killed, all young people. The dead belonged to the Muslim minority in Burma where for years an underground war has been taking place, never reported by the media, especially in Italy, one that is part of the jigsaw puzzle of instability that involves Burma’s Islamic community. It has become so serious that Burma’s President Thein Sein has called for a multi-religious society. It is a crucial time for the democratic evolution of the country and while everyone is looking forward to the 2015 presidential election, Sein reminded everyone that “together we have overcome many difficulties and challenges” and that “now we can emerge as a society where many races and religions live together in harmony, while preserving our customs and traditions.”
