Eid ul-Fitr Message of the Chairperson of the African Union Commission

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

This sacred moment, marking the end of Ramadan, is a time of reflection, gratitude, and renewal. 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.

Yet, Eid also calls us to hope. It invites us to strengthen our bonds across nations and communities, to uplift the most vulnerable, and to recommit ourselves to peace, justice, and dignity for all.

As we celebrate with our families and loved ones, let us not forget those who mark this day in hardship. May this Eid inspire collective action toward a more just, inclusive, and peaceful world.

Eid Mubarak.
