Millions of Muslims celebrate Eid al-Adha (Aljazeera.com)

Much of Asia, including Indonesia, India and Pakistan, will observe the holiday on Sunday.

But lavish feast or not, there were community prayers – a welcome sight in much of the world after years of coronavirus-related restrictions. In the years since, authorities have improved access with wider streets, electronic gates and a high-speed rail link. Still, the scenes were a significant step closer to normal. But amid soaring food prices that have caused widespread hardship across the Middle East, many say they cannot afford the livestock for the ritual sacrifice. At the multi-storey Jamarat Complex, pilgrims carried out the symbolic stoning of the devil, recalling Ibrahim’s victory over temptation. In Tripoli, in war-torn Libya, families were looking forward to the holiday after the past two years of the pandemic and more than a decade of violent chaos.

Sudan protesters mark Eid al-Adha at anti-army sit-in (FRANCE 24)

Sudanese protesters celebrated Eid al-Adha among barricades on Saturday during a sit-in against military leader Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and his October coup.

A total of 114 people have been killed in the crackdown by security forces against protesters since the October coup, the medics say.

Protesters have continued to press the army chief to resign, days after he vowed to make way for a civilian government -- an offer quickly rejected by the country's main civilian umbrella group as a "ruse".
