The prime minister of Chad, Kalzeube Pahimi Deubet has said
the full-face veil was being used as a camouflage by Boko Haram insurgents to
foster attacks on its soil. He has therefore directed security forces to burn
all full-face veils sold in the market.
This comes on the heels of two suicide bomb attacks by Boko
Haram insurgents on Monday which killed more than 20 people in the country.
The militant group has not commented on the attack but has
previously threatened to attack Chad, after its forces started to help Nigeria.
At a meeting with religious leaders, Prime Minister Kalzeube
Pahimi Deubet said the ban applied everywhere, not only public places. He added
that any clothing that covers everything but the eyes was a camouflage. The
attackers were on motorcycles when they blew themselves up outside two police
buildings in the capital, N'Djamena on Monday.
