The Saudi Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Dawah, and Guidance — represented by
the Higher Islamic Institute in the region of Louga, northern Senegal — inaugurated King Salman’s program for iftar on Friday.
The program aims to provide around 5,000 people with food with which to break their fast throughout Ramadan.
The program was inaugurated in the presence of a representative of Saudi Arabia’s Embassy in Senegal and its religious attaché, Waheed Mohammed Mujarbi, as well as by the governor of Luga, Abdelaziz Val, and several officials.
More than 500 food baskets for families will be distributed during the holy month in Louga and its suburbs.
Mujarbi said that this program serves to highlight the Kingdom’s generous support to Senegal.
Val expressed his gratitude to King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for their generosity, and thanked the Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Dawah and Guidance for its efforts in implementing the program.
The Kingdom has this year launched projects in 34 countries to provide iftar meals for around 1.2 million people throughout the holy month, which began on April 2.

Saudi defense minister receives Mukalla port director, thanks him for heroic role
- Prince Khalid thanked Basamir for his heroic and humanitarian role in ensuring safety and protecting lives and property at the port
RIYADH: Saudi Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman received the director of the Port of Mukalla Salem Basamir on Tuesday.
In a post on social media platform X, Prince Khalid thanked Basamir for his heroic and humanitarian role in ensuring safety and protecting lives and property at the port.
The Coalition to Support Legitimacy in Yemen carried out a limited airstrike in December targeting foreign military support at the Port of Mukalla in the Hadramaut governorate, where calm has been restored after a period of tension.
In a statement carried by the Saudi Press Agency following the strikes, coalition spokesman Major General Turki Al-Maliki said two ships coming from the port of Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates entered the Port of Mukalla without obtaining official permits from the Joint Forces Command of the Coalition.
“The crews of the two ships disabled their tracking systems and unloaded a large quantity of weapons and combat vehicles to support the Southern Transitional Council forces in the eastern governorates of Yemen (Hadramaut and Al-Mahra) with the aim of fueling the conflict. This is a clear violation of the truce and the pursuit of a peaceful solution, as well as a violation of UN Security Council Resolution No. 2216,” said the spokesman.
