Ramadan traditions across Africa
The customs and traditions of African countries vary and various dishes and appetizers are prepared. Each African country has its own unique customs, which become part of the culture of the people and creates its own characteristics.
In general, African Muslims exchange congratulations on the holy month's arrival. Cities with a Muslim majority are decorated with colored fabrics and the occasion is celebrated in a festive atmosphere.
Receiving Ramadan in Africa starts from the middle of the month of Shaaban, (before the month of Ramadan). Muslims begin to prepare for the month of Ramadan by decorating mosques, streets, and shops with lamps and lights, as well as starting family visits in preparation for the holy month.
For example, in Cameroon, children celebrate the month of fasting in the middle of it, not at the beginning, by wearing traditional clothes, strolling around houses collecting sweets and cash, and then cheering for the announcement of Laylat al-Qadr (Esteemed Night), as well as launching fireworks to celebrate Ramadan in front of Sultan Square.
