Apr Fool's Day

The day of pranks is celebrated in Liberia with the same enthusiasm as everywhere else, and the pranks range from the harmless to the elaborate. The Liberian English phrase for the day is "April Fool day," and the tradition is to play tricks on friends and family before noon. The radio stations broadcast fake news, the newspapers publish fake stories, and the social media is a minefield of misinformation. The Liberian sense of humor is sharp, and the pranks are creative. The most common prank is telling someone their car has been towed or their phone is ringing when it is not.

Kuthrat Abril

April Fool's in Kuwait is observed with the usual pranks and fake news, but also with a cultural twist: the most common prank is to tell someone their car has been towed or their phone is ringing. The pranks are harmless, the laughter is genuine, and the recovery is quick. The diwaniya discussions on April 1 are filled with tall tales and exaggerated stories, and the newspapers run satirical front pages. The tradition of humor is deeply rooted in Kuwaiti culture, where the ability to tell a good story (yihki) is a social skill as valued as generosity or hospitality.
