The Forbidden fruit. Do they not know that if they ban it there will be more sales of it? YES actually, I can bet on this one. More illegal copies will sneak in. ------------------------- Niger Thursday banned distribution of Charlie Hebdo in the mainly Muslim country, with the government vehemently condemning the cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed in the latest issue of the French satirical weekly. The government vehemently denounces and condemns the cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed, peace and blessings be upon him, contained in the issue of Charlie Hebdo for Wednesday, January 14, 2015, which it considers an insulting provocation and totally unacceptable, it said in a statement read on radio and state television. Also, on the instructions of the president of the republic, the government has decided to ban the publication and sale of this issue across the country, said the statement read by government spokesman and justice minister Marou Amadou. President Mahamadou Issoufou was one of six African heads of state who took part in the march in Paris following the jihadist attack on the magazine. He was strongly criticised by Muslim associations and local non-governmental organisations for saying on air We are all Charlie. His participation in the Paris march stems from his commitment against terrorism and for freedom and does not imply any support for the abuses that can arise from a certain notion of press freedom, said Amadou. Niamey also justified the presidents participation in the march because of Frances commitment to fight militants in the Sahel. In Africa, Senegal has also banned distribution of the latest issue of Charlie Hebdo monitor.co.ug/News/World/Niger-bans-Charlie-Hebdo-over-Mohammed-cartoon/-/688340/2591268/-/4o1ti2/-/index.html
