All business language in today world is English so there goes investors ticking 'PL' is undesirable investment location due to lack of Language skill and when they see these people speak italian, they will give all jobs to Somaliland and SSC.
All books and learning is stored in english, which will also disadvantage our youth not knowing the language when entering university and they will not perform. Why? all because of these silly old timers who think the world is the same world post world war 2.
The british education is world class. All the areas they colonized are leaders in their region like Malaysia compared to Indonesia. South Africa. Kenya. Nigeria. Egypt. South yemen was the dubai of the region untill it merged with 'wax qaawan north yemen'. Even Gedo uses their curriculum and their students are always out performing others in Somalia.
My father says 1950s when the UN gave Somalia a choice between UK/Italy trusteeship, our forefathers made the biggest mistake by going with Italy mafia. That's why the NFD/DDS happened for revenge. Why they chose Italy and the axises who lost World War 2 to the allies baffles me, they knew the outcome by then in 1950s.
Why always am I always hearing Niyad Jab. The greatest leader in Africa today and country predicted to be on singapore path, Rwanda. Mr Paul Kagame got rid of belgium crap which was their colony and made english official.
Our largest diaspora are where? not in fkn italy, their in uk/america/australia/new zealand/canada, what will happen with their kids and the kids they have when they come to Puntland and cant communicate due to lack of english? they will just stay in the west and become like african americans. We must make english mandatory for local kids so the next generation kids and diaspora next generation can communicate and knowledge transfer.
Their is absolutely no benefit to Italian, that old generation is nearly dead, plus italy we dont have diaspora that warrants it, plus education/business isn't in italian, their is too many negatives to adopt it.
