Yet, even as the international community was celebrating a new dawn, old wars were raging in the northern borderlands. A crisis was emerging in western Arakan state where the regime intensified its oppression of the vulnerable Muslim Rohingya community. By 2017, the conflict had escalated into a military onslaught against the Rohingya that provoked the most desperate refugee crisis of our times, as over 750,000 of them fled their homes to neighbouring Bangladesh. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Burmese Labyrinth\u003c\/i\u003e, journalist Carlos Sardi a Galache gives the in depth story of the country. Burma has always been an uneasy balance between multiple ethnic groups and religions. He examines the deep roots behind the ethnic divisions that go back prior to the colonial period, and so shockingly exploded in recent times. This is a powerful portrait of a nation in perpetual conflict with itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Verso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/10\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781788733212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Carlos Sardina Galache","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43075555426485,"sku":"9781788733212","price":25.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_b1ab13ef-d8f2-41c1-a2cd-2d09440d0564.jpg?v=1691468613","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-burmese-labyrinth-9781788733212","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
