Guterres: My heart is broken by the advent of Eid al-Fitr, and Gaza and Sudan are between hunger and conflict

United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres said that many Muslims will not be able to celebrate Eid al-Fitr properly, especially in the Gaza Strip and Sudan.

United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres expressed his regret that Eid al-Fitr has come on Wednesday, while Sudan and the Gaza Strip are “between conflict and hunger.”

Guterres said in a video message on Tuesday evening, via the X platform: “Every year, I extend to Muslims around the world my best wishes on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr.”

He continued: "My heart is broken because in Gaza, Sudan and many other places - due to conflict and hunger - many Muslims will not be able to celebrate properly."

In this context, the Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations, Amina Mohammed, said on Tuesday evening that humanity has lost its “moral compass” with regard to the Gaza Strip.

This came in response to a question about her remaining silent regarding the situation in Gaza during a press conference in New York City.

Muhammad explained that she follows the Secretary-General of the United Nations, and that she supports all statements of Secretary-General Antonio Guterres regarding Gaza.

Since October 7, 2023, Israel has been waging a devastating war on Gaza, leaving more than one hundred thousand martyrs and wounded, most of them children and women, and massive destruction and famine that claimed the lives of children and the elderly, according to Palestinian and UN data.

Since April 2022, Sudan has witnessed a war between the army and the Rapid Support Forces, which has resulted in about 13,900 deaths, nearly 8.5 million displaced people and refugees, in addition to a catastrophic food crisis, according to the United Nations.

    The leader of the Afghan Taliban issues a statement in 7 languages ​​after an audio recording and flogging and stoning of women and men

    On Saturday, in a statement, the leader of the Afghan Taliban movement, Hibatullah Akhundzada, called on officials in the movement to put aside their differences and devote themselves to serving their country, as Eid al-Fitr approaches.

    It seems that public opposition within the Taliban is unlikely, but some leaders in the movement have shown dissatisfaction with decisions taken by the leadership, especially the ban on female education.

    Akhundzada, a reclusive leader who rarely leaves the Taliban stronghold in Kandahar province in the south of the country, and never appears in public, has played a major role in imposing restrictions on women and girls, sparking international outrage and isolating the Taliban on the global stage.

    Akhundzada's message was distributed in seven languages, including Uzbek and Turkmen, and is an attempt by the Taliban to court the rich Central Asian countries for investment, and to give legitimacy to the country's rule.

  2. Despite the devastation wrought by Israeli aggression, Gaza citizens resiliently performed Eid prayers amid ruins and shelters. Meanwhile, worshipers faced restrictions but defiantly gathered at Al-Aqsa Mosque, enduring occupation assaults.
