For nearly 70 years Rohingya Muslims had been suffering yet most in the holy month of Ramadan. Since the outbreak of violence and hatred in 2012, it has been more intensified against the Rohingyas the most oppressed minority of the world according to the United Nations.
During the nights of Ramadan in Myanmar (formerly Burma) markets and workplaces are closed, as everybody pray; where people sleep after Tarawih prayers directly, wake up early while fasting they continue their business after dawn.
According to local Rohingya Muslims living in several cities of the state, “Arakan” reported that they suffer a lot while trying to get the essential goods and foodstuffs supplies in Ramadan, due to lack of availability in the market and the omission of Buddhist vendors on the sale to the Muslims.
According to “Alukah” news agency the Rohingya Muslims suffer most in Ramadan, where authorities forbid the construction of mosques for Tarawih prayers, and also prevent the establishment of prayers or even the “Madarassa” that imams use to set up in the holy month of Ramadan to teach people their religion.
