Ngalakh combines baobab fruit and peanuts to end Easter in West African nation, reciprocated by the sharing of meat breaking Ramadan's fast.In Senegal, Muslims love to share meat. Christians share porridge.Ending the monthlong Ramadan fast this week, the faithful in the Muslim-majority West African nation invited Christian friends to celebrate Korite (Eid al-Fitr), focus on forgiveness and reconciliation, and share a wholesome meal of chicken.A little over two months later during Tabaski (Eid al-Adha), the mutton from sheep slaughtered in commemoration of Abraham’s sacrificing of his son will likewise be distributed to Christian neighbors. (Both feasts follow the lunar calendar and change dates each year.)But for Christians, the sign of interfaith unity is the porridge-like ngalakh.“Senegal is a country of terranga—‘hospitality’—and the sense of sharing is very high,” said Mignane Ndour, vice president of the Assemblies of God churches in Senegal. “Porridge has become our means of strengthening relations between Christians and Muslims.”Sources told CT the holiday treat is highly anticipated.In the local language, ngalakh means “to make porridge,” and the chilled dessert marks the end of Lent.

The dessert is then variously seasoned with nutmeg, orange blossom, pineapple, coconut, or raisins.Tangy and sweet yet savory, the porridge gets its brownish color from the peanut cream.The Christian community in Senegal traces its ...Continue reading...

FRC identified 436 hostility incidents in 2023-more than double the number identified in 2022 and more than eight times the number identified in 2018, the first year for which FRC collected data. ...
