Guinea's government has
temporarily banned beauty pageants after the skimpy outfits in the swimwear
section caused outrage, reports BBC Afrique.
The competitors paraded
in front of the Prime Minister Mamady Youla in bikinis on Saturday, attracting
severe criticism on social media.
One publication, Flash
Guinee, asked in its headline if the prime minister was encouraging
prostitution.
The ban is until a new
code of ethics has been drawn up, Culture Minister Siaka Barry said.
He said a committee has
been set up to come up with that code.
He added that the
government has ended its contract with the organisers of the beauty pageant.
