Myanmar needs to clarify citizenship laws and carefully police its borders in the wake of clashes between Rakhine Buddhists and Rohingya Muslims that have killed dozens, opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi said.
Myanmar President Thein Sein declared a state of emergency on June 10 in western Rakhine state bordering Bangladesh in a bid to end religious and ethnic clashes that erupted a week earlier. Rohingyas have been denied citizenship and face restrictions moving around the country.
