Somalia's al-Shabaab militants ban samosas

Somalia's al-Shabaab group has banned samosas after ruling the popular snacks are too Christian, it was reported on Tuesday.

But the newspaper said locals believed al-Shabaab leaders had decided the triangular shape was not compatible with their strict version of Islam.

The unexpected move means Somalis could now expect to be punished if caught cooking, buying or eating samosas, known locally as sambusas.

The ban is the latest in a string of authoritarian rulings introduced by al-Shabaab, a violent Islamist organisation linked to al-Qaeda and classified by several countries as a terrorist group.

The extremist army has taken command of several provinces of Somalia and is fighting the country's official government for total control.

However it has been widely criticised for its strict enforcement of Shariah law and unmerciful treatment of the population.

At the weekend the organisation sparked outrage after saying it would refuse to allow overseas aid agencies into drought-hit parts of Somalia.

 

Militant Islamist fighters last week used vehicles mounted with loudspeakers to announce the bizarre ruling across the regions of the war-torn country it controls.

The extremist group has offered no official explanation for the ban on the triangular snacks, which are commonly cooked up and served across the Horn of Africa.

But it is believed the organisation took offence at the three-sided savouries' supposed resemblance to symbol of the Christian Holy Trinity.

Kenya's Daily Nation newspaper on Tuesday reported that residents of the Somali town of Afgoye, 20 miles south of the capital Mogadishu, had confirmed the samosa ban had been imposed.

The fried snacks, usually filled with spicy meat or vegetables, have been served for centuries in the East African country.

The UN last week declared a famine in two parts of the country and warned millions face death from starvation.

Al-Shabaab had previously suggested it would allow foreign agencies to bring in vital food aid to prevent its people from dying.

But on Friday the group denied the famine even existed and accused Western governments of inventing the crisis as a propaganda tool.

The organisation also warned foreign agencies were still banned in the regions of Somalia it controlled.

Experts have warned the group's refusal to acknowledge the food crisis could cause millions of unnecessary deaths as people struggle to find food amid a devastating drought.

The reported ban on samosas is the latest in a string of bizarre rulings from the organisation, which has been likened to the Afghan Taliban.

Earlier this year the group introduced a blanket ban on the playing or watching of football.

It has also previously ordered men to grow beards and warned it will take action against anyone caught wearing tight-fitting clothes.

I bet the people in Somalia sniggered when they heard this. How ridiculous! People are dying of starvation iyagana sambus ee kaga dhagtey cajalada. They crossed the limit when they banned the foreign aid provided by NGO's claiming "Its christian food". Walaahi they are sick dadkaan. They have no right to control any help given by anyone specially when they are not providing any source of income for the poor people living under their psychotic regime. Sawirsanaa waxu.

I have never wished ill upon anyone in my life, but I wish all the ignorant Al Shababis to rot in hell. Ilaahan iga baryeey inuu nolosha iyo aakhiraba ku ca***** dadkaan oo muslimiinta nafta u keneey. :mad: :(

These monkeys need to get a life. Get a real life. Why are they in the business of micromanaging the daily lifes of bini'aadamka ku hoos nool? Fake Islamists iga dheh. There are more pressing environmentally deadly issues that deserves banning. Ban dhuxusha or qaadka. Why don't they ban the guns and go back to waran?
