From Our Own Correspondent: Myanmar's Malaise

On a potholed Burmese road, Tim Butcher sees how a near-accident reveals tensions with the country's Rohingya minority

On a potholed road in Rakhine State, Tim Butcher witnesses a near-accident - and learns a great deal about tensions with the country's Rohingya minority. He's shocked by the anti-Rohingya sentiments vented by his guide, a usually gentle and cultured man - and wonders whether Myanmar can really pull all of its peoples together.
