Somalia's government has banned the
celebration of Christmas,
warning that such Christian festivities could
threaten the nation's Muslim faith."Those celebrations are not in any way related to Islam," an official at the religious affairs ministry said.
Security agencies have been directed to stay alert to stop any gatherings.
Foreigners are free to mark the Christian holiday in their own homes, but hotels and other public places have been prohibited from marking the day.
