| FOLLOWING the war of 1994, a number of amendments were
made to the 1990 constitution. Fifty-two clauses were amended and a further 29 clauses
added. One was deleted. The changes were approved by parliament on 29 September, 1994. One
of the most controversial changes was to Article 3, which made Islamic shari'ah the
source of all legislation; previously it had been "the main source".
