President Nangolo Mbumba on Thursday extended greetings to the Muslim community in Namibia on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan.

Eid al-Fitr is also known as the ‘breaking the fast’ and celebrates the culmination of the holy month of Ramadan, a period dedicated to fasting, prayer, and reflection. It signifies a time for spiritual renewal, self-discipline and compassion.

‘I extend heartfelt greetings and warm wishes to our Muslim brothers and sisters across the nation. As our Muslim brothers and sisters gather to share meals and exchange gifts, let us extend a hand of support to those in need, embodying the true spirit of Eid al-Fitr,’ Mbumba said.

The president concluded by saying he hopes the spirit of Eid inspires Namibians to strive for better communities where everyone can live in dignity.
