Reports of violence and forced conscription of Rohingya in Myanmar's Rakhine state have prompted calls for the military regime and armed actors to stop violence against civilians and allow humanitarian access. The UN warns of further atrocities in the region, with a rising revolution involving the Karenni armed opposition and foreign fighters training anti-regime forces. Over 1,000 people from Myanmar have sought refuge in Mizoram's border district of Champhai due to intensified fighting between rebel forces and the ruling junta.
