Somalia's government has banned the
celebration of Christmas, warning that such
Christian festivities could threaten the
nation's Muslim faith.
"Those celebrations are not in any way
related to Islam," an official at the religious
affairs ministry said.
Security agencies have been directed to stay
alert to stop any gatherings.
Foreigners are free to mark the Christian
holiday in their own homes, but hotels and
other public places have been prohibited
from marking the day.
"Having Muslims celebrate Christmas in
Somalia is not the right thing, such things
are akin to the abandonment," local media
quote Mohamed Kheyrow, a top official at
Somalia's justice and religious affairs
ministry, as saying.
Correspondents say as the country recovers
from years of civil war, a growing number
of Somalis who grew up in the diaspora are
returning home, some of them bringing
Western customs with them.
Christmas is not widely celebrated in
Somalia, which officially adopted Sharia in
2009, but the odd event was held -
especially as an excuse to hold a party.
Mogadishu's mayor, Yusuf Hussein Jimale,
told the BBC that such gatherings might also
be a target for the Islamist al-Shabab group
that has targeted hotels in the city in the
past.
Celebrations will be allowed at UN
compounds and bases for African Union
peacekeepers, who are in the country to
back the government's fight against the al-
Qaeda-linked militants.
