Burma in talks with Bangladesh on return of 500,000 Rohingya Muslims

Burma's embattled leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, has called for national unity and created a committee that will coordinate all international and local assistance in violence-hit Rakhine state.

More than 500,000 Rohingya Muslims have fled from the state to neighbouring Bangladesh since August 25, when security forces responded to attacks by a militant Rohingya group with a broad crackdown on the long-persecuted Muslim minority.
