Emphasizing the importance of soldiers who are at home to return to training, President Samia said:
"I have looked at the parade, the officers who were leading the forces are experienced officers but among them I have seen people with hijabs, I think we should not have officers with hijabs. They should come back here and come and take out cloths so that they can be faster in carrying out their duties"
