On the occasion of Eid ul-Fitr, I extend my warmest greetings to all Muslims across Africa and around the world.

It reminds us of the enduring values of compassion, solidarity, and generosity—principles that resonate deeply in a world facing profound challenges. From conflict and displacement to economic uncertainty and climate pressures, our shared humanity is being tested in unprecedented ways.
