The city of Axum in Ethiopia’s Tigray region witnessed protests organized by Muslim female students in response to a decision prohibiting the wearing of hijabs in certain educational institutions, media outlets said, adding that the protesters emphasized that the ban violates their religious freedoms and contradicts their commitment to Islamic teachings.
The students expressed frustration with the policy, questioning why they were being targeted as Muslims in a city considered a significant center for Muslims in Ethiopia, while followers of other religions face no similar restrictions.
