Eid in Sudan: Celebrations marred by gunfire

Muslims in Sudan celebrated Eid al-Adha amidst ongoing violence, with heavy artillery and airstrikes heard in Khartoum state despite a ceasefire. Many people were too scared to attend outdoor prayers, opting to pray at home instead. Sudan has been in a 10-week war between the military and the Rapid Support Forces, resulting in over 500,000 people fleeing the country and 2.2 million displaced internally. The number of casualties is difficult to determine, but it is believed to be over 1,000. Additionally, many Sudanese are struggling to celebrate Eid due to financial difficulties caused by the conflict.

Eid al-Adha 2023: Celebrations and Messages

Eid al-Adha, the holier of the two Eid festivals observed by Muslims, is set to begin on Wednesday, June 28, 2023, following the Day of Arafat on Tuesday. The festival lasts for four days and commemorates the story of the prophet Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son. Traditionally, an animal is sacrificed and divided into three parts, with one part given to the poor, one to the immediate family, and one reserved for relatives. The phrase "Eid Mubarak" is used to greet fellow Muslims during both Eid al-Adha and Eid al-Fitr, translating to "blessed celebration" or "happy Eid."
