How many languages can President HSM and fmr president Farmajo speak?

 

[Avalanche]

HSM has never left Somalia so he only speak Somali and English, Farmaajo lived in the US for a while so he is fluent in Somali and English, I don't think any of them know Arabic though. If they can then it surely must be broken.

PM Hamza Barre, on the other hand, is fluent in Arabic

Not everyone is going to know how to speak Arabic even the king of Jordan gets clowned for the way he speaks Arabic don’t expect a Somali politician to be able to speak Arabic well

Barley speaks English it's embarrassing when he's on international stages speaking like Hoyoo mataalo English.

Why can't Somali politicians just speak Af Somali in international events. Many leaders speak English but choose their own tounge in public, like putin

 

[EyiPunter]

We have the d league of leadership at the moment. I wouldn't be surprised if they can't understand Af barbie or Af Mymy, but give it ten years once the diaspora comes back we'll be fluent in all languages

Is Af hooyo Mataalo / barbie Somali better than of Af MayMay

Which is easier to understand Af May May Somali or Af barbi Somali?

If there's no interrupter fluent in Somali in international scene then speak in Arabic which is our 2nd official language like how Sheekh Shariif did in his term in office

He doesn't need to know Tigrayit since he knows Sudanese Arabic dialect which is spoken by most of the Tigre

Most Eritreans who fought for the ELF or EPLF in Sahel/Gash Barka (western lowlands) understand Tigre. Because its the most spoken language there. ELF and EPLFs headquarters were there too
