Somalia Millitants describes Type Of Clothing To Wear


Somalia's al-Shabab militants have rounded up about 100 women and ordered them to comply with a strict Islamic dress code or risk being whipped.

The women were arrested in Buale, about 300km south-west of the capital, Mogadishu.

The al-Qaeda-linked group controls much of, southern and central parts of Somalia.

The women were arrested in the market, taken away and warned before being released.

Since it was their first offence, they were not punished but they could be whipped in public if caught again.

Reports say the temperature can reach 35 degrees celsius at this time of year and so many women prefer to wear lighter, traditional clothes than those approved by al-Shabab.
