On 6 October, Somaliaβs information minister Osman Dubbe revealed an agreement with Italy that would resume an Italian language broadcast on the statesβ radio station, Radio Mogadishu, for the first time in thirty years.
Other than nostalgia of the older generations who remember how fashionable speaking Italian was in their youthful days... I am not too sure what use there is for Italian language these days?
The Human Rights Committee said on Wednesday that Italy βfailed to respond promptly to various distress calls from the sinking boat, which was carrying more than 400 adults and childrenβ.
Whatβs the problem

European countries often use poor countries for call center work in their own language.
Sometimes when I call German IT help desks I get Namibians or German Brazilians who pick up the phone.
Language proficiency in Italian could provide some work for Mogadishu youth.
In both cases of inbound and outbound calls, customers shall be informed of the place where the call center operator is physically located. Moreover, in case of inbound calls, customers shall have the right to choose to be assisted by an Italian call center. This provision has the clear purpose to favor the Italian national market.
In case of failure to comply with the above depicted requirements, a sanction equal to EUR10,000 for each day of non-compliance might apply.
You want her to adopt you ?Mashallah, this is the signal for Italian Somalis who fled in 91 to come back under the safe tenure of President Farmaajo. Many Italian Somalis exist like Maria Corbano . Somalia is for all citizens.
Using Somalia's colonial past to strengthen ties with Italy can only be a good decision. Italy didn't have many colonies and there would be a good chance for trade links/deals in the future. Italy may also invest more in Somalia. More exposure to foreign languages can only help Somalis too, any sort of access to education is ultimately beneficialFarmaajo's regime is obsessed with dragging the country backwards and now they have resurrected Italy's soft power in Somalia.
What kind of despicable clown would bring back a lame Colonial language that has no relevance or use outside of Italy. He even sent a team of Somali doctors (that are desperately needed in Somalia) to help his Colonial Italian masters combat Covid-19.
