What is behind the Arabization propaganda of Somali cities/ countries?

[Dir.]

Do you live in Djibouti bro? I thought they were deporting Yemenis & Oromos recently

I don’t live in Djibouti but in touch with my family there and the so called deportations my family said the illegal migrations are back everywhere especially the Oromos that refuse to leave. In fact, my aunt ran into her old housemaid that told her she came back and brought more Oromo workers with her

Sax walal. But the thing are those videos don't know why they spreading irrelevant information about Jabbuti. Just because they come across with some 'fara-jin' influenced food like bread or some streets with the names of 'fara-jin' af, and it's suddenly a 'fara-jin' country in their eyes. And then next videos are like 'Jabbuti is a small country in the horn of Africa located on the red sea....blah blah...their culture, their food, they speak Arabic and 'fara-jin'...etc so it's a Arabic country!'. And I instantly freeze, let alone the Cafar but where's the Somali not even mentioned?!. Honestly I suppose it's not the faults of those content makers. Because it's all from this system which forcing 'fara-jin' to be our official language. But even in school that's what we learned: 'fara-jin' and Arabic' are just official language, while 'Somali and Cafar' are the national language.

Right! They see many cultural influences around and think that those people are also the natives. I’m okay with French being taught in school but Somali and canfar should’ve been added as well, hopefully it changes once the regime is gone.

No I'll never call that Arabic language. Fara-jin= French. I just adjusted the Somali name for French.

i think the somali word faraansiis is derived from arabic الفَرَنْسِيْس.

It is derived from the Latin word Franciscus. In Arabic = Fraansa or Fraanka. Not faraansis

It’s rooted in anti black racism. The idea that black people are not capable of building complex societies like Europeans and Asians.

If Arabs keep claiming they founded Mogadishu I’m gonna start claiming we founded Cairo

the word الفرنسيس was used as a nisba for french by arabs. its an old nisba.

ibn cimaad al xanbali
استهلّت والفرنج على المنصورة والمسلمون بإزائهم مستظهرون لانقطاع الميرة عن الفرنج، ولوقوع المرض في خيلهم، ثم عزم ملكهم الفرنسيس على المسير في الليل إلى دمياط، ففهمها المسلمون، وكان الفرنج قد عملوا جسرا من صنوبر على النيل، فنسوا قطعة، فعبر عليه الناس وأحدقوا بهم، فاجتمع إلى الفرنسيس خمسمائة فارس من أبطاله،

axmad al naasiri a moroccan using it:
...وطالت الْحَرْب بَينه وَبَين الفرنسيس وَاسْتولى الفرنسيس فِي بعض الكرات على تلمسان.....

The issue is not with the fact of the language itself being taught. But their should be some limitation to a foreign language, isn't it? I mean Arabic and English are not as scattered in Jabbuti as the french is. They're only taught as foreign languages subject in school and you're not obliged to use dealing with- from your every school subjects to your office work, to every simple receipt from monthly electricity bills to every other legal paperworks one must have to go through with it...etc. And to add, Arabic and English don't start with you from the first grade like the French language is, as if it was our mother tongue. I mean now will my Somali language made of an official language there in France? No, of course. So this is why some of the Somalis from Somalia says that Jabbuti is still not getting over the colonisation impact until this days despite their independence.

But you know what, here I think of Jabutians believe that if it wasn't for the french language the country would have turned into a mess, like for exemple in Somalia case. They think that french language has the reason to have this peaceful mindset to not engage in the destruction of the country.
I don't really know if to agree with that or not. Because in my opinion is really great to learn foreign language but it's also clever to not let it sprawled all over the place in your native land like the case is here. I mean if we don't prioritise our mother tongue, who's going to do it for us? This is the only lands where we can be our true origins.

And recent years too I've learned that the Somali and Canfari language got included in the elementary schools and they even gave uniforms to the students from all the three mains (elementary, middle school and high school) but again now I can see that the situation returned as before as I don't see students dressing up with their uniforms.

Arabic and Somali language are two of the very closest language out of every other language on earth, in my opinion. Because the roots of some words which one can be explained in Arabic language, it can also be explained in the Somali language. I mean for example look at this word: 'kalima'.
