Marking the end of the month of Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr is already announced in some Gulf countries, where it will be celebrated on Thursday. In Morocco, the observation of the crescent which will announce the beginning of the month of Chaoual will be on Wednesday.
Young Moroccans continue to challenge the authorities in several cities, performing Tarawih prayers outside mosque doors or demonstrating against the nighttime curfew during the month of Ramadan.
The controversy over the ban on Tarawih prayers arose on the evening of the first day of Ramadan. In Tangier and M’Diq people took to the streets to denounce the decision.
