[COMMENT] Burao mayor orders sex segregation in restaurants

[SilentE1001]

The mayor of Burao, Mohamed Yousuf Abdirahman, today publicized a decision ordering restaurant not to allow men and women to dine together.

The prohibitive decision decreed by the mayor is not based on legislation.

The decree was addressed to Warsan restaurant.

Warsan restaurant is one of the few restaurants in Burao that allow men and women to dine together. It serves Ethiopian traditional dish.

The police in Burao, a city located in eastern Somaliland, has closed down the Ethiopian restaurant on 31 August. It was later reopened after a warning was given to the owners, according to Burao police commissionaire.

Men and women to eat together in restaurants are against Islamic law, says the decision.

The decision orders Warsan to establish different venues for men and women. It says such segregation is required to be enforced by all restaurants in Burao.

Wasnt there just a headline where yall closed down an Ethiopian restaurant because they let men and women mix?

 

[Gibiin-Udug]

So married couple can't dine together?

 

[Ras]

If Somalia ever unites I think we should let Burco secede on it's own.

 

[Finesse]

Men and women socialised like normal people when Islam was introduced.

Segregation will just promote perversions and exagerate relations between the genders

This is not islam, this is some weird misogynist practise posing as Islam.

Men and women will see each other everywhere and have to see each other for normal life to continue.

What's next? Women cannot work? God forbid a man sees a woman's face. Smh

Restaurants are generally segregated in Somalia apart from the high end ones usually found in hotels that is where men and women sit in the same table.
