Algerians refuse to publish their Ramadan tables on social media
With the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan, activists on social media launched calls not to photograph the iftar tables during the holy month of Ramadan, out of respect for the poor and needy families who sometimes find themselves unable to provide for their daily sustenance.
And the campaign to prevent filming the Iftar meals for fasting people invaded Facebook pages and groups, which on every occasion turn into an arena for racing and bragging, by publishing the best and most luxurious food and the finest tables.
Many Facebook pages and groups, which launched the hashtag “No to filming breakfast tables,” called on Algerian families, especially women, who used to publish the food and dishes they prepared, and even fruits, desserts, annuals and nuts, on social networking sites, to stop these behaviors, taking into account the feelings of the poor and the needy. able to provide for themselves.
