Tunisian government has banned the wearing of the niqab–a full-face veil, in government offices.

According to governmental officials, wearing this kind of religious outfit is considered concealment of the face in such public place, which is in fact prohibited by several countries.

Tunisian government has cited security concerns as the reason for the ban. One rights group urged the government to ensure the ban was temporary.

Tunisians, who voted overwhelmingly for the Islamist candidate in 2012, have come to realize that choosing the path of Islamism only leads  to unnecessary conflicts.

The fight for a secular state in Tunisia has been rising lately in a very controversial concept. Even the demand for recognition of the Amazigh language and identity begins to rise again from the ashes.
