Muslims in South Sudan are today ending their fasting for the Holy Month of Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr.

Eid al-Fitr is an important religious holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide that marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting (sawm).

The holiday celebrates the conclusion of the 29 or 30 days of dawn-to-sunset fasting during the entire month of Ramadan.

In Juba, the Muslims are expected to have a dinner with President Salva Kiir this evening.
