Senegal plans to ban full-face amid militant threat - BBC News: "Senegal plans to ban women from wearing the full-face Islamic veil in public in an attempt to curb jihadi activity, the interior minister has said.
The move should not be seen as anti-Islamic, as Senegal was a mainly Muslim state, Abdoulaye Daouda added.
If the plan becomes law, Senegal will be the fifth African state to restrict the wearing of the full-face veil.
In another move to target militants, all unregistered Sim cards are to be deactivated by the end of November."
