Thein Sein to receive "Peace Award" from Crisis Group

The International Crisis Group will honour President Thein Sein of Myanmar and former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva of Brazil at its annual In Pursuit of Peace Award Dinner in New York City on 22 April 2013.

The Crisis Group said, Of course, Myanmar still needs to build on this political liberalisation to date. It must urgently find ways to address communal violence between the Rakhine and the Rohingya (as Crisis Group noted back in June and again in a report published earlier this month), which continues to devastate people's lives, particularly those in minority Muslim communities.

Myanmar newspaper published the article written by Crisis Group in English and Burmese. The government didn't censor the term "Rohingya" and it is appearing on today's Myanmar government newspapers in English and Burmese languages.
