The festival, which marks the end of the month-long dawn-to-dusk fasting, is one of the most celebrated festivals for Muslims worldwide. The country's warring sides started to observe a two-month ceasefire on April 2, which means that, for the first time in years, the Yemenis can enjoy the Eid al-Fitr free from the fear of war. But the price spikes in food have added a pinch of sourness to the festival enjoyment. SOUNDBITE 1 (Arabic): OMAR AL-MUJAHID
