President ‘Abd al-Fattāh al-Sīsī led the prayers of ‘Īd al-Fitr (Eid al-Fitr) yesterday at the mosque of the Leadership of the Egyptian Air Force. He was joined, among other, by Prime Minister Ibrāhīm Mahlab, Grand Imām of the Azhar Doctor Ahmad al-Tayyib and Minister of the Interior Muhammad Ibrāhīm. Al-Sīsī congratulated the people of Egypt and of the Arabic and Islamic worlds, and took the occasion of ‘Īd to send a message of hope and optimism, and to use this energy as a spur for work and for the unity of peoples (Muhammad Basal, al-Shurūq al-Jadīd, Jul. 29, p. 3).
