In 2011, Burma/Myanmar embarked in a democratic transition from a
brutal military rule that culminated four years later, when the
first free election in decades saw a landslide for the party of
celebrated Nobel prize-winner Aung San Suu Kyi. Yet, even as the
international community was celebrating a new dawn, old wars were
raging in the northern borderlands and a crisis was emerging in
western Arakan State, as the regime intensified its oppression of
the vulnerable Muslim Rohingya community. The trigger of the latter
was a series of episodes of intercommunal violence between Muslims
and Buddhists in 2012, in which the army and police took sides
attacking the former. 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. In The Burmese Labyrinth,
journalist Carlos Sardina Galache, gives the in depth story of the
country, combining reportage and history. 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.
