Senegal Bans Burqa To Stop Terrorists Disguising In Islamic Dress by Rich4god(m): 8:12pm On Nov 18, 2015 |
Senegal has banned women from wearing the burqa, amid rising fears of Islamic extremism in the west African country. The interior minister, Abdoulaye Daouda, said women would no longer be allowed to wear the Islamic dress, which leaves only the eyes exposed. Daouda said the decision was a question of national security and was designed to prevent terrorists from using the burqa as a disguise. An estimated 92% of Senegal’s population is Muslim. Although the country has not suffered a terrorist attack recently, authorities are concerned that the Islamic militant group Boko Haram, based in north-eastern Nigeria, may be trying to extend its range. This month, police arrested five people suspected of having ties to Boko Haram as part of a nationwide crackdown. Chad suicide bomber kills 15 people in market and injures 80 Read more Senegal is not alone in west Africa in banning the burqa. This year Cameroon and Chad, also Muslim-majority countries, issued similar orders citing similar reasons. “Senegal is just following the trend,” said Martin Ewi, a senior researcher at the Institute for Security Studies. He said the ban, though difficult to enforce, had been reasonably effective in both countries. “You still have the villages and far corners of the country where people don’t always respect the ban,” he added.

Nigerian government will continue to hesitate to take such action in order not to 'hurt the feelings' of a section while lives are being wasted! ![]() |

Rich4god: From the report, Senegal is 92% muslim and they have no issue banning it because they consider security of lives more important that hanging on to something that pose a security threat! 1 Like |
