EU, Unamid convey their best wishes for Eid El Fitr

The fasting month of Ramadan is coming to an end and the Eid El Fitr feast will start soon, most probably on Tuesday.

On the occasion, Ambassador Tomas Ulicny, Head of the EU Delegation in Sudan, extended his “best wishes to Muslims across Sudan” in a press statement this morning.

Before his final return to Khartoum, from where he is leaving for the next diplomatic assignment, the EU diplomat extended a message to the Muslims of Sudan: “As Ramadan ends we open a new page with ourselves and with all those around us. To continue the spirit of giving and caring, we remember our joint obligation to uphold the dignity of every human being in peace, dialogue, respect and tolerance.”

'Tolerance and love'

Martin Uhomoibhi, the head of the UN-AU Mission in Darfur (Unamid) also extend his greetings and best wishes to the people and Government of Sudan today on the occasion of Eid El Fitr.

“Eid El Fitr is a time for love, perseverance, kindness, forgiveness and tolerance. These qualities are the essence of Islam,” Uhomoibhi states. “I hope we all use this auspicious occasion to rejuvenate bonds of kinship, peace and demonstrate tolerance and love towards each other.

“I would like to reiterate Unamid's unwavering commitment to exert every effort within its capability and available resources, as well as make a personal pledge to intensify my ongoing activities in support of enhancing peace and reconciliation efforts across Darfur in our collective efforts to bring sustainable peace and stability in this region and, indeed, the whole of Sudan.

“May the jubilant spirit of the Eid inspire us all to renew our determination to promote the cause of peace and heal the wounds of the past. May Allah bless our Ramadan and accept our supplications, Ameen.”
