Fuck Somali, it's a language that is far less precise and alot more primitive than Arabic. It should be abolished and left to die just as the Phoenetic language was erased by Mujahideenta Sham in the 1100's.

Why don't you move to f-cking Saudi Arabia then.

BTW
Somali and English, should be taught in Somalia. There's no need for arabic.

Are you Knight of Wisdom?

40% of Somali is Arabic.

Force, force, force. Wallahi they and a lot of these ignorant kids who spoke in this topic remind me everything I hate about Africa. Force, force, force. No rationality, no respect for difference, no room for creativity, no room for tolerance, no room for CONSENSUS.

One day this one group comes and they say MY way, MY culture, MY values, MY system, MY world view. The people can't take anymore and then another group takes advantage and removes the one before. Immediately like they are suffering amnesia, what came before is thrown in the dustbins of history without anything to learn from and it becomes MY way, MY culture, MY values, MY system, MY world view. Cycle X2

Whether you agree with this or not, this petty action of intolerance is exactly a response to the intolerance prior. How do you cancel intolerance with intolerance? Even if you would like to see Somali-only signs...who gives you the right to dictate to other private enterprise that might exercise creativity and whatever business niche to include Arabic script if they so want?

The level of pettiness, short-term amnesia, inability to have foresight, totally lack of awareness and respect for difference, consensus, tolerance, inclusivity, and making every Somali individual free to express themselves legitimately in their own land astounds me wallahi. These idiots would be the first people screaming racism and discrimination if such a thing took place in the places their families have sought refuge and asylum in around the world. But oh no, the Somali in Somalia is not allowed the freedom of free expression.

At the end of the day it is about freedom. There is no justice without freedom and there is no freedom without justice. I am totally opposed to forcing the already suffering Somali people anymore than they have been forced. Let them breathe in peace and dignity.

Today Arabic writing...what tomorrow? No beards? No khameez on certain days? Isn't this what gave rise to the ICU against the "Ashahada-La-diri"? Isn't Al Shabab's intolernace now giving power back to another opposite force? Where would they intolerance lead back to except passing their limit to the point they tilt the populace back?

Short-term amnesia and everything despicable about an unenlightened society is our real curse, nothing else. This just reeks of a strategy derived from that, just another point in the cycle. Yet there will never be a shortage of those that will clap like headless chickens.

Arabic's use in Somalia should be strengthened and while it is not at the level of consideration towards Somali, it is right to be considered a special language of the Somali people and which should be protected by the constitution. The Dutch school boy is as fluent in English as he is in Dutch. The same should exist in Somalia with Somali and Arabic. I think the language's use should become standardized and widely taught making Somalia a truly multi-lingual society along with Arabic. Somali is not a weak and flimsy thing that needs the ignorant fear driven xenophobia of weak and intolerant third world paramilitary. It existed before and will exist long after us. Strengthen Arabic until it understood as well as Somali and include English as well.
