This year, the Muslim community in the North is facing a particularly challenging period during the holy month of Ramadan due to the intense heatwave. With temperatures reaching 45°C in the shade between 11am and 4pm, fasting has become much more difficult than in previous years.
The situation is reflected in the streets of the city of Garoua, where the roads are deserted and only a few motorcycles are circulating, while activities have slowed down. Many faithful are observing a spiritual retreat in mosques to seek some respite from the overwhelming heat.
Faced with this heatwave, Muslim believers have flocked to the banks of the Benue River to enjoy the benefits of nature, seeking temporary relief from the scorching heat.
In government offices and public services, workers are trying to maximize their comfort while continuing their daily activities to achieve their goals despite the challenging weather conditions.
With just a few days left of the sacred month of Islam, the faithful in the North are redoubling their efforts to fulfill this important pillar, which will be concluded by the celebration of Eid al-Fitr. The determination and perseverance of Muslim believers in these challenging conditions highlight the importance of this holy month and the strength of their religious commitment.
