Muslim girls hold candles as they take part in an Interreligious Gathering of Prayer for Peace ceremony in Yangon on October 31, 2017. The gathering is to show how unity in a country seared by ethnically- charged violence against the Muslim Rohingya on its western border. Buddhist monks, Christian nuns, Hindus and Muslims were among those who joined the gathering in a display of support for government leader Aung San Suu Kyi' s handling of the crisis in Rakhine.
