[li]Burkina Faso:[ol][/li][li]Not seen: ICOP member Mr.Ibrahima Thierno said: “I pass the end of Ramadan in Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso), in west Africa. In Monday 29 september, just after maghrib, I have tried to see the crescent by naked eyes, but I haven’t seen it”[/li][/ol]
[li]South Africa:[ol][/li][li]Not seen: ICOP member Dr.Abdurrazak Ebrahim[/li][/ol]

[li]UK:[ol][/li][li]Not seen: ICOP member Mr.Qamar Uddin said: “…The sky was overcast with clouds so it was not possible to sight the Hilal by the naked eye or binoculars. Many people in other parts of UK have also attempted to sight the Hilal, but they could not do so either. Furthermore, we have been unable obtain any reliable Hilal sighting news from any countries in the East of UK either (excluding Saudi Arabia). Therefore, the Ulama (including Wifaq and Batley) have decided that tomorrow, Tuesday 30 September 2008 shall be 30 Ramadan 1429 AH in UK and 1 Shawwal (Eidul Fitr) 1429 AH will be on Wednesday, 1 October 2008 Insha-Allah (completing 30 days of the month)”[/li][li]Not seen: ICOP member Dr.Muhammad Afifi al-Akiti said: “A group of us attempted to perform the obligatory sighting tonight for the Shawwal crescent in Oxford on 29 Ramadan, Monday 29th September, immediately after Maghrib prayers at the usual site. The local horizon is partly cloudy and the new crescent could not be sighted. By 'Isha time there were no reports of any credible sighting east of our location; rather, we received news of negative sightings in Morocco, South Africa, and Malaysia. Therefore, we should be completing 30 days [istikmal] for Ramadan with the Tarawih tonight, so that the first day of 'Id al-Fitr should, at the earliest, fall in the UK on Wednesday 1 October.”[/li][/ol]

Wednesday 1 October 2008:
[ul]
[li]UK:[ol][/li][li]Not seen: ICOP member Mr.Qamar Uddin said: “On Wednesday 1 October 2008, corresponding to 1 Shawwal 1429 AH, I (Qamar Uddin) was invited by my colleagues from York Astronomical Society (YAS) to observe the crescent moon (Hilal) with the aid of a Meade LX200GPS (computerised) telescope. Although we had already begun the Islamic lunar month (see my previous report), I needed no second bidding, as I was very keen to check if the 57 hours old crescent moon could be visible or not from UK as predicted by visibility calculations. I have observed the western horizon (which was fairly clear) at the left of sunset, from before and after the Magrib (sunset) prayer (18:30 - 19:00 hrs BST), but I was unable to sight it. I had two experienced YAS amateur astronomers with me, but they were unable to sight it either.This observation experience left me wondering how could some people in the Middle East claim to have sighted the 6 hours old Hilal on Monday 29 September 2008, when the visibility predictions indicated it to be impossible (as it had set before the sun). I would like to request all Muslims to attempt observing the Hilal every month so that the Fard (obligatory) Ibadah (worship) of millions of Muslims are not ruined due to the mistakes made by a few inexperienced people!”[/li][/ul]
