Is protesting with bare breasts now the current trend?
First the FEMEN group , now market women in Burundi.
A group of women who happen to be stallholders at a local market , decided to protest with their bare breasts as custom officers seized wrap cloths imported illegally in the Burundi capital, Bujumbura.
The women lamented stating that selling wrap cloths was their only means of survival.
Wrap cloths or “pagnes” are an integral part of the country’s heritage. Currently, most of the cloths are imported from the neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo where prices are lower there. In Bujumbura, the "pagnes" have been sold at markets by “mama vendors” for generations. But at the Chez Siyoni market on September 27, all stock was seized because authorities say the stallholders had not paid import taxes on the cloths.
If women in Nigeria adopt this style of protest , will it stop Boko Haram , corruption and other vices? Wondering!
