Yangon's Chittagonian Sunni Mosque, Myanmar

Located in central Yangon, this mosque was established in 1885 by Chittagonians (now part of Bangladesh). Arab Muslim merchants landed at the ports such as Thaton, Martaban etc circa 652-660 A.D. Their ships sailed from Madagascan island to China and they used to go in and out of Burma. Islam is practiced by about 4% of the Myanmar but Muslims there, especially the Rohingya have suffered persecution, and many fled after the 2015 Rohingya refugee crisis and the military crackdown in 2016 and 2017.
