Categories: Sub-Saharan Africa, Senegal, History, Religion

Ria writes about Islam and the confusion about Ramadan in Senegal [1]: “Thus for some, Ramadan ended yesterday; for most it was today, declared a national holiday by the Government. One final confusion: the festival to mark the end of Ramadan is called Korité in Senegal, but is known elsewhere in the Muslim world as Aïd-el-fitr.”
