UN Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, said joining Muslims as they fast during Islam's holy month of Ramadan showed him "the true face of Islam", Anadolu News Agency reports.
"The sense of peace, the sense of solidarity, the sense of generosity that I witnessed in the communities hosting refugees, and also the resilience, the courage of the refugees themselves was extremely inspiring," he said.
His remarks came during an interview with UN News's Arabic service on Wednesday, ahead of his visit to Somalia next week as part of the UN Chief's annual tradition of visiting a Muslim-majority country during Ramadan.
"And it remains a very important inspiration of everything I do today as Secretary-General of the United Nations," he added.
Asked about his annual visit to refugee camps or settlements as UNHCR Chief, where he fasted in solidarity, Guterres said: "When I became Secretary-General, I thought that this tradition should be maintained – now, not focused on refugee communities, but focused on the Muslim communities that are suffering".

That was a very educational day, wasn’t it.
Not eating for 12 hours is not fasting. Typical Islamic bullshit.
If that were the case in truth, he’d find another religion.
Visit Somalia without heavily armed guards and let us know how it goes...
And they eat like pigs the rest of the day...and there are plenty of exemptions.
Shielded upper class twit. Did he sleep all day and binge all night like the rest of them?
And the fact that they want to kill everyone else apparently does not bother him.
they drink alcohol and hide their liquor in their homes so their friends or certain people don’t find out. This is done by many.
hosting REFUGEES... I don’t see Iran or Saudi Arabia or Turkey opening up their arms for Christians fleeing their tormentors who are Muslims.
The UN can’t fit all their luvies in one box— the fat will have to be trimmed somewhere.
Drag queens and muslims?
Kumbaya.
Ya, that religion of peace is sure hard to resist!
The WORLD saw it, too!

Your fasting ends in quarreling and strife, and in striking each other with wicked fists. You cannot fast as you do today and expect your voice to be heard on high. Isaiah 58:4
