TL;DR Summary

Muslims in Sudan celebrated Eid al-Adha amidst ongoing violence, with heavy artillery and airstrikes heard in Khartoum state despite a ceasefire. Many people were too scared to attend outdoor prayers, opting to pray at home instead. Sudan has been in a 10-week war between the military and the Rapid Support Forces, resulting in over 500,000 people fleeing the country and 2.2 million displaced internally. The number of casualties is difficult to determine, but it is believed to be over 1,000. Additionally, many Sudanese are struggling to celebrate Eid due to financial difficulties caused by the conflict.
