Hiiran administration bans Arabic writing in buisinesses

[Shirib]

What people's rights? It's the duty of the admin to promote the local language and demote the foreign ones. The Somali language should be preserved and protected at all costs.

Why would a business need to advertise in Arabic if all of his customers are Somali? who are we kidding here.

cause the business doesn't belong to the government and thus the owner should advertise in whatever language he desires.

If government entities say only Somali that's perfectly understandable, but telling non government what to do is infringing on their freedoms

[FAH1223]

irrelevant measure. we aren't suddenly going to be arabs if we're using arabic

[original dervish]

this is just the warm up routine before they start the usual southern protection racquets.
i`ve never understood why the southern polity (if they can be described as such), dont just engage in lawful commerce.

the south is the heartland of somali economy ( formally anyway).
everybody seems addicted to moryaanism, in one form or another.

xamar, juba, bay, central regions they`re all at it.

I dont understand what a regional administration telling people to use Somali words as shop names/signs has to do with economy, lawful commerce and mooryanism

Is it illegal to ban Arabic writing in businesses? did the admin break any law in issuing this ban?

If your answers are NOs then you need to zip it.

well considering Somalia is lawless, without any real government, nothing is really legal or illegal. And the ban is stupid, it's an infringement on people's rights. Funny thing is, if Al Shabaab banned English you would be all up in arms about it. You can't even see your hypocrisy

Actually, I dont think anybody would complain if Shabaab did the same, banning people from using English on their shops and enforcing the use of the SOMALI language instead. We would welcome it too. Infact, we pray that do that

Wrong, the admin has a say when it comes down to protecting the local language and customs.

The businesses are operating in the admins jurisdiction if they don't like the ban they can move their business to Buloburde.

What about English?

Istaqfurullah! that is blasphemy... ban luuqada caalamka kulahaa.

I think this is pointless. Everyone has a right to speak or write in any language they want. You will be speaking Arabic in the grave, so you better start speaking in Arabic now.

This BluenWhite and SomaliFanatic are the dumbest f'ckers on this board bar none.

As for the new rule, what do you expect from rag tag illiterate third world militia boys? From one form of authoritarianism to another form. When do the people actually breathe and be FREE to be who they are? What is the point of this edict? It is just a way to say WE are in charge now nothing different than Al Shabaab saying WE are in charge. From one gutter to another gutter and then when they are easily changed later they will question why.

[TheblueNwhite]

Calling someone names makes you the brightest of the bunch? listen moron, learn to get your point across without sounding like mofo retard.

What business is it of yours what the admin in Hiiraan does anyway? how does this decision of theirs affect you?

GTFO sacsacyahow.

[original dervish]

listen, the ordinary civilians have never been the problem in southern somalia.
these wretched militias are the cause of all of the instability and suffering. they can never be the solution.

who are they supposed to be protecting, and from what?
as if the lamentable situation the people find themselves can be resolved by repainting shop fronts.

this is all about southern predation." I`m stronger than you, have more guns, am more ruthless now give me all that you have"
as for the folk on here supporting such miscreants, they should be ashamed of themselves.
while they and their families enjoy the full protection of the law, being free to pursue and enjoy their comfortable lifestyles.
they`re advocating for a system last seen in 1920s Chicago.

But aren't you also calling him names to get your point across? Pot calling the kettle black.

The Hiiraan administration was appointed by the TFG. The TFG is putting forward this constitution that says the official "languages" of the Somali Republic are Somali and Arabic. A local statute such as this by that rag tag paramilitary would be in violation of Somali national law.

Says the man resulting to profanity

And yes WE are in charge now. What you gonna do about it? The people of the region will speak up if they have a problem with the matter, its frankly none of your business.

[The`Republic]

You are not in charge. The Ethiopians are and they could leave any second. How are you going to prevent Al Shabaab from taking over Beled-Weyne again if you are annoying the people with retarded authoritatian laws trying to control what they use on signs in front of their private business establishment. Every single Somali store I know here in my city in the US has "halal" written in Arabic but in Beled-Weyne they won't have that right. Cockroach brains wallahi.

Hiiraan region acknowledges that Somali and Arabic are both official languages but Hiiraan region makes its own local laws, Hiiraan region said no Arabic writing on the shops. The status of Arabic as an official language still stands in Hiiraan region. Hiiraan administration does not seem to have violated any laws. Got anything else you wanna say?

[BlackVelvet]

Al Shabab banned the use of Af Somali and Hiiran Admin are trying to get back to their culture, makes sense.

That said poor business people who have to keep changing thier tabeelos lol. Tabeelo makers
