What are your thoughts on immigration in Somalia?

[NoSafety]

Siad Barre was the one who made Latin the official script in 1972. Planting bananas is nice but it's neglible. That's all you to say for the Italian colonial legacy?

That was literally just one example, u can find the rest m8

Barre learnt almost all of his policies and knowledge from Italians and he loved them. I think he was gay ngl

 

[FiftyPence]

No it's a separate chartered city in Ethiopia. Oromos claim it too and it's the vital rail link to Djibouti so they kept it out of our hands lol

So it doesn’t belong to neither oromia and Somali galbeed?

We didn't go and catch them anyways. Go bill Oman for that

I did not pull the trigger, i only assisted the murder.

Evidence of that?? And you know what we do have to give the Italians credit for making the Latin alphabet just their Roman forefathers 2,500 years ago

No - Dire Dawa is a Somali city that has been slowly invaded by the Oromo. The Somali region wanted it as it's capital in 1991, but this was opposed by the Oromia region, so the federal government made it a chartered city because the issue is so controversial

Paying Somalis what in our own country? Somalis had their own currencies, and Latin was a disastrous innovation - Somalis had been using the wadaad written script since at least the 9th century, and had their own indigenous system prior to that. What benefit does learning Italian or their writing system confer on anyone? It's less relevant than German, Spanish, French, or any other 2nd and 3rd tier languages

So you feel cheesed about using a Latin script but the Wadaad script, which is Arabic, is fully fine. Please have a seat lol. Also, Somalis never had an indigenous script and Wadaad was introduced in the 13th century.

If Wadaad was as widespread and used then Latin wouldn't have taken over the way it did in such a short period of time.

No the Ethiopians were too smart to put a strategically critical city in Somali hands

Why can’t we stop booty clapping for white people and Arabs. How about our own script that is made for Somalis by Somalis.

A socialist dictatorship can make something happen pretty quickly if it wants lol. Why are you booty clapping for the ugly latin script. Arabic script makes sense with Somali phonetics.

lmao but Italians are the ones that brought it over sweetheart plus they're descendants of the Romans.

It's like saying Swedes didn't discover America, it was the Vikings, even though they're the same people.

m8 the land is Somali and has always populated the majority but Oromos started doing drillings on them. Period.

What's funny is that the "Oromos" that Oromia claims as their people identify as Dir. However i understand the Ethiopian government they don't want a civil war part 2 lol

What script did Somalis ever make? We're not like habeshas who have the only indigenous writing system in Africa, we just copied people around us. I'm not a self hater it's just the truth.

I don't have a choice over what my ancestors did.

Either way it's irrelevant because it wasn't implemented in writing the somali language until Siad enforced it in the 1970s. The Italians made the script big deal. That's not some legendary legacy

It's a big deal because his father is Italian (he thinks). Let's see how long Waaqo lasts this time around

We have a few Somali scripts actually. Please get out of here. Your obsessed with Italians too much.

Oh sorry yh the famous Wadaad script. How could I forgot...?



It's literally Arabic but it's ok because using a Latin script is too humiliating

Don't pretend you didn't get his point. You alluded to italians revolutionizing Somalia by introducing the Latin script as if no other script was used for Somali already.

Literally every single one of those scripts were created in the 1900s and aren't as simple and dom't cope with the sounds of the Somali language as well as Latin. Hence why Latin reigns supreme.

It's too inconvenient to implement a new writing script imo. Let's just stick to Latin.

get the whole pride and clture thing but if you think that makign a script made in the 20th century and is less usbale then idk wag1 for you b
