The stores with the blue & green doors still have tabeelo with Latin letters. There are plenty of similar pictures showing Latin letters. So, what's your point?

Is the writing translated to Arabic or is it written in Arabic but Somali?

pollpot done something similar in cambodia during the 1970s.
it is a form of psychological warfare. strip the people of all they know, leaving them helpless and unable to resist.

I fail to see the reasoning behind the removal of the Somali writing, as for the flag i believe that they painted over it as they see nationalism as unlawful. There latter is not particularly wrong however the timing of it is poor.

AS would have made great rulers of Somalia if they toned down their extremism.

Perhaps spokesman Cali Dheere should start holding press conferences in Arabic instead of Af-Somali?
