In response to plastic pollution, the terrorist organizations in Somalia also decided to act and declare a war on plastic bags.
According to the report of 'Today's Russia' on the 3rd, the Somali extremist organization 'Youth Party' recently issued an environmental protection measure prohibiting the use of plastic bags. The 'Youth Party' propaganda agency Andalus Radio announced on the 1st that the organization will no longer be south. Plastic pollution in the Somali region and its landscape damage problems stand by because plastic waste has pose a serious threat to local residents and animals.
Plastic bags have thus become the latest ban on the 'Youth Party' control area. Previously, they had banned Western music products, cinemas, satellite receivers, cell phones and humanitarian agencies from entering the area.
According to the organization’s leader in the Shabelle region of South Somalia, the plastic bag ban will be issued later.
In Africa, plastic pollution is on the rise, and local animals have been dying for food deaths due to ingestion of plastic products. Last August, Kenya issued the world’s toughest plastic bag ban. According to the ban, production, sales and sales in Kenya The use of plastic bags will result in a fine of up to 4 years imprisonment or up to 4 million Kenyan shillings (about 260,000 yuan). A year after the decree was issued, the Kenyan government announced victory, saying that the country's plastic bag usage rate has dropped significantly. But at the same time, the burden on some manufacturers and retailers has increased, and the price of sisal fiber and synthetic fiber instead of plastic has been high.

Since 2008, the country has completely banned the manufacture, import, use or sale of plastic bags in the country. Since then, Tanzania, Ethiopia, South Africa and other countries, Botswana Many countries in Africa have also introduced different levels of plastic ban.
In fact, the ban on plastics is becoming a global trend. At the end of the week, the plastic bag ban will also be implemented in several states in Australia. Although this policy has triggered strong consumer dissatisfaction, some supermarket employees have even been attacked by words and limbs. At present, there are already more than 40 countries and regions including China, France, and the United States, which have successively introduced policies to ban, partially prohibit or control the use of plastic bags.
Prior to the 'environmental' banner, the Somalia 'Youth Party' had repeatedly launched attacks in Somalia and neighboring Kenya. In April 2015, this extremist organization associated with Al Qaeda was in Garissa, a city in northeastern Kenya. The university created a terrorist attack that killed 148 people, including 142 students. In September 2013, the 'Youth Party' made a Westgate shopping center attack in Nairobi, Kenya, killing 67 people.
