| Boko Haram: Cameroun Extends Ban On Full Veil |
| 2015-07-26 |
| [DAILYTIMES.NG] Cameroun has extended a ban on full Islamic veils in parts of the country as it seeks to curb Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... violence after a string of suicide kabooms by female attackers. The decision comes less than a month after two Then on Wednesday twin suicide kabooms by two maidens of tender years killed 13 people in a market in Maroua in northern Cameroon ...a long, narrow country that fills the space between Nigeria and Chad on the northeast, CAR to the southeast. Prior to incursions by Boko Haram nothing ever happened there... The full veil is already banned in the northern and western regions of Cameroun. It is now also forbidden in the east. The governor of the East Region chaired a security meeting Thursday that included Moslem holy mans where he "announced the ban of a full veil or burqa," Cameroun Radio Television reported. Mireille Bisseck, official spokeswoman for the western Littoral region, where the economic capital of Douala is located, told AFP that "the manufacturing, sale and wearing of the burqa" has been banned. Bisseck said that sermons during Moslem prayers would also be subject to increased surveillance. Northern Cameroun has been hit hard by Boko Haram attacks, and authorities fear they might spread southwards and into big cities. |
