The Myanmar government has evacuated atleast 4,000 non-Muslim villagers amid ongoingclashes in north-western Rakhine state, the government said, whilethousands of Rohingya Muslims fled across the border to Bangladesh.

缅甸政府称其已将至少4000名非穆斯林村民撤出持续冲突的若开邦，同时有上千名罗兴亚穆斯林越过边境线进入孟加拉。

The death toll from the violence thaterupted on Friday with coordinated attacks by Rohingya insurgents has climbedto 98, including 80 insurgents and 12 members of the security forces, thegovernment said. The clashes, the worst since at least October, have promptedthe government to evacuate staff and thousands of non-Muslim villagers from thearea.

缅甸政府称，自上周五开始，叛乱的罗兴亚穆斯林进行多次联合袭击，导致死亡人数上升到98人，包括80名叛乱穆斯林分子和12名安全部队士兵。此次冲突是自去年10月以来最严重的一次，迫使缅甸政府将政府工作人员和数千名非穆斯林村民撤出该地区。

Fighting involving the military andhundreds of Rohingya across north-western Rakhine continued on Saturday withthe fiercest clashes taking place on the outskirts of the major town ofMaungdaw, according to residents and the government.

根据当地居民和政府的说法，在周六，武装部队和数百名罗兴亚穆斯林在若开邦西北的战斗一直在持续，最激烈的冲突发生在孟都主城区周边区域。

The attacks marked a dramatic escalation ofa conflict that has simmeredin the region since last October, when a similar but much smaller Rohingyaattack prompted a brutal military operation beset by allegations ofhuman rights abuses.

这次攻击标志着此区域自去年10月以来一触即发的矛盾急剧恶化。去年10月发生过类似的罗兴亚穆斯林叛乱，但规模较小，导致了一场暴力军事行动并引发了针对该行动侵害人权的舆论围攻。

The treatment of approximately 1.1 millionMuslim Rohingya in mainly Buddhist Myanmar has emerged as the biggest challengefor national leader Aung San Suu Kyi.On Friday she condemned the raids in which insurgents wielding guns, sticks andhomemade bombs assaulted 30 police stations and an army base.

如何在缅甸这个佛教徒占绝大多数的国家对待大约110万罗兴亚穆斯林成了昂山素季面临的最大的挑战。在星期五，她谴责穆斯林叛乱分子手持枪支、棍棒和自制炸弹攻击30个警察局和一个军事基地。

The Nobel peace prize laureate has beenaccused by some Western critics of not speaking out for the long-persecutedMuslim minority, and of defending the army’s counteroffensive after the Octoberattacks.

一些西方批评言论指责这名诺贝尔和平奖获得者没有为长期遭受虐待的穆斯林少数民族发声，并且还在10月袭击发生后为军队的反击进行辩护。

Win Myat Aye, Myanmar’s minister for socialwelfare, relief and resettlement, said late on Saturday that 4,000 “ethnicvillagers” who had fled their villages had been evacuated, referring tonon-Muslim residents of the area. The ministry is arranging facilities fornon-Muslims in places including Buddhist monasteries, government offices andlocal police stations in major cities.

缅甸社会福利与救济安置部部长温妙埃在周六晚些时间说，4000名逃出家园的“少数民族村民”——即该地区的非穆斯林居民——已被疏散。社会福利与救济安置部已经在各主要城市的佛寺、政府办公室和当地警察局设置了必要设施以救助这些非穆斯林居民。

“We are providing food to the peoplecooperating with the state government and local authorities,” said Aye.

“我们正在跟邦政府和当地政府机构合作，向人们提供食物，”温妙埃说。

He was unable to describe the government’splans to help Rohingya civilians.

他无法讲述政府帮助罗兴亚公民的计划。

“It is very difficult to say – this is a conflict situation so it is verydifficult to say who is right or wrong,” he said.

“现在很难说——现在正处在冲突之中，很难说谁对谁错，”他说。

Panic-stricken Rakhine residents inethnically mixed or non-Muslim towns have readied knives and sticks to defendthemselves. Many were stranded in their villages located in Muslim-majorityareas as clashes continued and some roads had been mined, residents said.

居住在多民族混居或非穆斯林地区的罗兴亚穆斯林们惊慌失措，他们准备了刀具和棍棒意图自保。有居民说，由于冲突持续不断，一些道路也被埋设了地雷，很多居住在穆斯林聚集区的罗兴亚人被困在自己的村庄里。

“The clashes continued all day yesterday onthe main road, there are a lot of landmines. I don’t think local authoritieshave enough food for all the people. The price of commodities is rising day byday,” a local journalist from Maungdaw town said on Sunday.

“昨天在主要道路上的冲突持续了一整天，路上埋了很多地雷。我认为当地政府无法为所有人提供足够的食物。物价每天都在上涨，”周日，一名来自孟都的记者说。

Bracing for more violence, thousands ofRohingya – mostly women and children – were trying to forge the Naf riverseparating Myanmar and Bangladesh and the land border as gunfire could be heardfrom the Myanmar side, Bangladesh borderguards said.

孟加拉边防士兵说，几千名准备面对更多暴力的罗兴亚穆斯林——大部分是妇女和儿童——尝试越过缅孟边境的纳夫河以及缅孟陆地边境进入孟加拉，在缅甸一侧已经能够听到枪声。

Around 2,000 people have been able to crossinto Bangladesh since Friday, according to estimates by Rohingya refugeesliving in the makeshift camps on the Bangladeshi side of the border.

根据在孟加拉边境为罗兴亚人设置的临时安置点的统计，从上周五开始，已有约2000人越过边境线进入孟加拉。

Bangladesh’s foreign ministry said it wasconcerned that thousands of “unarmed Myanmar nationals”had assembled near the border to enter the country.

孟加拉外交部说，其对上千名“非武装缅甸国民”聚集在边境企图进入孟加拉的情况表示担忧。

Rohingya have been fleeing Myanmar toBangladesh since the early 1990s and there are now around 400,000 in thecountry, where they are a source of tension between the two nations who bothregard them as the other country’s citizens.

罗兴亚人从1990年代早期便开始逃离缅甸进入孟加拉，目前在孟加拉已有大约40万人。这一人群经常成为缅甸和孟加拉两国关系紧张的原因，因为两国都认为罗兴亚人是对方国家的公民。
