Jihadists announce ban on plastic bags to 'protect humans'
Somalian jihadist fundamentalist group al-Shabaab has announced a ban on plastic bags in the territories it controls, saying the discarded bags "pose a serious threat to the well-being of humans and animals alike". The group also issued an immediate ban on the logging of indigenous trees. Notably, the al-Qaeda affiliate has carried out suicide attacks and massacres across East Africa.
