BURMA'S president has declared a state of emergency in a western state where sectarian tensions between Buddhists and Muslims have unleashed deadly violence.

"I would like to call upon the people, political parties, religious leaders and the media to join hands with the government with a sense of duty, to help restore peace and stability and to prevent further escalation of violence," Thein Sein said


The violence reflects long-standing tensions between Buddhist residents and Muslims, many of whom are considered to be illegal settlers from neighbouring Bangladesh.
