[@jojieclaudio2124]

they speak good english in somalia

[@Luke-rc1hk]

It was under British rule for a while that's why they speak English.

[@hunibuni]

+Luke123 No, those are Somalis that lived abroad and returned home. Hence "diaspora"

[@Luke-rc1hk]

But it was under British rule for a while which is one of the reasons they speak English in Somalia

[@hunibuni]

Luke123 But that particular person had no accent, clearly she spent actual time abroad and has the proficiency of a native speaker. Other Somalis I've heard who speak English but have always lived in Somalia have accents.

Somalia international country

[@cafiifihassan5179]

Thanks BBC

[@Max-ii3pj]

Yeah its true, it is gaining stability now, because after training of Somali military by EU, Turkey and UAE Al Shabab is defeated , they don't control one city now, and in 2017 Somalia will be the first country which defeated Terrorist group for the least cost of money, but still the treat exist, because you can't recognize the difference b/w the opposition parties like the government and alshabab. because both of them are somalis, speaking somali language, wearing the same clothes and so on. So to survive in Somalia you have to either one of this three. 1. A neutral person, who is neither the government nor Al shabab. even you don't have to mention their name. 2. be with government and protect your life with Ak-47. 3. You have to be Al shabab and life secretly like the CIA spies . Also Somali is the only place on earth where Ak-47 is more expensive than the M16.
