The final group of pilgrims under the Uganda Muslim Supreme Council (UMSC) is set to depart from Madinah International Airport en route to Uganda via Ethiopian Airlines. They are expected to arrive at Entebbe International Airport at 8:30 PM.
This group is led by Sheikh Abdu-Barri Muhammad Kalonzi, the UMSC Secretary for Zakat and Swadaqah Distribution. All pilgrims are reported to be in good health, although experiencing some fatigue due to the rigorous Hajj rituals performed under the intense desert heat of the Royal Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Among the pilgrims are Sheikh Musa Kheliri, Northern Regional Assistant in the Office of the Mufti; Sheikh Ramadhan Kyalisima, Member of Majlis Al-Ulama and Principal of Bwikya Islamic Institute; District Kadhis from Luwero, Kibale, Nakasongola, Kiruhura, and Rukungiri; Sheikh Palapande, Deputy Kadhi of Mayuge; and Sheikh Timuntu, County Sheikh for Jinja City.
