When pious Doukhobors (religious sect) parade naked in protest, British Columbia police pepper their bare flesh with itch powder, spank their bare backs with short lengths of hose.

...news readers, confused with stories of Britons fighting Somali in Somaliland, Italians fighting Senussites in Libya, Frenchmen fighting Tuaregs in Algeria, Spaniards fighting Riffi in Morocco, to remember that North Africa is populated by four races ("white" Berbers, Arab conquerors, native Jews, Negroes) which include innumerable tribes and sects. Italy's troublesome Senussites are a rambunctious Arab sect founded by Sidi Mohammed ben Ali ben Es Senussi el Khettabi el Hassani el Idrissi el Mehajiri, who was born in Algeria with an urge to militant reform.

...Senussites are a Moslem sect founded in 1835 with the establishment of a monastery at Abu Kobeis near Mecca by the revered Sidi Mohammed ben Ali ben Es Senussi el Khettabi el Hassani el Idrissi el Mehajiri.
