In commemoration of the Muslim Eid festival, Muslim students invited young people from various ethnic groups in Rakhine State to hold in Sittwe on July 11 at around 3 pm.
“We Muslims have two big festivals. One was more than two months ago. For now, this translation means sacrifice. With the money we have, we buy as cows, goats, buffaloes, camels as we can and relinquish them on the path of Allah (God).”, Zaw Min Tun from the Muslim Students’ Union said.
Eid Festival is celebrated by Muslims from all over the world from July 10 to 12.
Today’s event was attended by some Rakhine civil society organizations from various ethnic groups, including University Students’ Unions, Mro, Khami, Maramagyi, Kaman and all races in Rakhine.
The Arakan Army also donated clothes to some Muslim villagers in Buthidaung Township to mark the Muslim Eid Festival.
