Vatican Pope arrives in Myanmar on first leg of foreign tour
Pope Francis
Naypyidaw - Egypt Today
Pope Francis of Vatican on Monday arrived in Myanmar, becoming the first pope to ever visit the southeast Asian nation.
The world's most high-profile Christian takes center stage in a staunchly Buddhist country accused of horrifying acts of brutality against its Rohingya Muslim minority.
The Pope has previously decried violence against the Rohingya, calling them his persecuted "brothers and sisters."
Francis will spend three days in Myanmar before he travels to Bangladesh on Thursday, where he's expected to meet at least a small group of Rohingya refugees while in the capital Dhaka. The last pope to visit Bangladesh was Pope John Paul II in 1986.
