Somalia: Islamists Ban Selling Explosive Things, Warn People Not Sell Cooked Food

Kismayu — The Islamic administration of Kismayu town 500 kilometers south of the Somali capital Mogadishu has banned selling the explosive things that the children play and warned to the people not to sell cooked food in the town for the sake of the holy Ramadan month, officials said on Wednesday.

Sheik Abu Hureira Osma'il, a deputy chairman of Kismayu administration warned to the businessmen in the town selling the explosive substances that the children play for the festival days and celebrations like the pistols and small arms saying that who ever is seen ignoring the order will be taken the right steps pointing out that those things are good things for the Muslims.

On the other hand Abu Hureira Isma'il also said that there are people who secretly cook food around the streets and neighborhoods of the town at the daytime as the people are fast warning them not to cook or sell food or will be punished.

However, the statement of the Islamic administration of Kismayu town comes as the people are fasting and in the holy Ramadan month which all Muslims in over the world abstain from the eating, smoking and drinking at the daylight.
