In the fourth and final episode of this series, we look further into the August attacks by the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army and analyse what measures need to be taken to bring an end to years of conflict.
"Many focus on the restrictions of the Muslim community, but if I could highlight one area, it is that the government should ensure rule of law in the state. So whoever commits an act against the law should be charged accordingly, whether they are Rakhine or Muslim. I think that would help to control further violence and conflict in the area. " - Rakhine interfaith community leader

Five years of misery in Rakhine State: No hope in sight
When the violence first began in Rakhine State in 2012, around 140,000 people, mainly Rohingya, were moved to internally displaced persons camps. They believed they would be home in a matter of months, but more than five years later the vast majority remain there - without access to education, healthcare, or livelihoods. Tensions within Rakhine between the two communities have only escalated, with many seeing little hope for reconciliation.
"Even though I have Muslim friends living in the camps, I don't think there is enough trust for the two communities to live side by side again." - U Maung Shwe Aye, shop owner in Sittwe market for 16 years
