Somali capital, Mogadishu, demanding a boycott of French good
Hundreds of people have gathered in the Somali capital, Mogadishu, demanding a boycott of French goods amid a row over Emmanuel Macron’s defence of secular values.
The French president was speaking after a teacher was beheaded for showing cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed – but many have said his comments were Islamophobic.
It has coincided with an annual ceremony organised by religious scholars to celebrate Mawlid al-Nabawi – the birth of the Prophet Mohammed.
The crowds who gathered were calling for the authorities to cut all ties with France.
