Muslims to celebrate Eid el-Fitr tomorrow

KIGALI - The Rwandan Muslim community will, on Friday, join the rest of the world to celebrate Eid el-Fitr, and the conclusion of Ramadan, the month of fasting. The Mufti of Rwanda, Sheik Saleh Harelimana, told The New Times in an interview last evening that it had been hoped that Eid would be on Thursday after the completion of the 29th days of fasting but it was agreed that all Muslims fast 30 days, making Friday instead the Holy Day.
