They are not a part of Islam nor Somali culture. They're younger than my and your parents. The most radical veil in Islam for centuries has been the Hijab, with the majority opting to either wear a normal veil or nothing at all. Proof? Look at black & white photos or older paintings of people from Somalia, North Africa and the Middle East.
Somali school children. Notice what they're wearing and not wearing? Yesterday at the masjid I saw a dude and his two or less year old daughter, who was wearing a hijab
This is how our schoolchildren look back home today
Iranian women in 1970 protesting the Hijab which then became forced, and those who didn't wear it would be prosecuted.
How people here would call banning the Burqa and Niqab an attack on Islam is beyond me, when Islam never even mentions either! They are not Islamic, case and point. They have especially NO place in Somalia or Somali culture, hopefully they will be banned there to in the future
