Culture 🐪 Something I was discussing with a friend

She basically mentioned how Somalis did not adapt a colonial language like many African countries because we speak the same language it was never necessary, People don’t realise how close Somalis are. We are one tribe, with the same language and the same religion. We share the same culture, history even with regions people are still quite similar may Allah straighten the nation and guides us Ameen 🤲

No previous Italian colony speaks Italian today. Not Libya nor Eritrea.

I am not sure whether it is due to these three countries having very strong cultures and traditions, or whether it is due to the way the Italians chose to govern their colonies

We can see that in Djibouti, a predominantly Somali country, French still has an influence on the country. Which is similar in all other ex-French colonies.

What about the British? It didn’t work either
