The African Union Support and Stabilisation Mission in Somalia (AUSSOM) conveys its warmest wishes to all Muslims and the Federal Government of Somalia on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr.
“As we celebrate the conclusion of the holy month of Ramadan and give thanks to Allah, let us reflect on our obligation to show empathy and generosity towards the less fortunate in society as taught by the holy prophet. May Allah accept our fasts, prayers, supplications and Zakat al-Fitr, allowing everyone to rejoice in happiness,” said the acting Head of AUSSOM, Sivuyile Bam.
Mr. Bam encouraged all Muslims to pray for the government and the Somali Security Forces, seeking divine guidance and protection as they strive to stabilise the country for lasting peace and security.
“AUSSOM stands in solidarity with the Federal Government of Somalia and its people, re-affirming our unwavering commitment to support the ongoing fight against terrorism,” said Mr Bam.
