Poor contributions to the ENGLISH forum .. reasons and solutions!

The two Sudanese mailing lists which I referred to under another subject were in English. During those years electronic Arabic writing was not affordable or widely used. A good number of subscribers mastered English. However some used to wrangle to express their views in English. Most of the users were from Sudanese in diaspora either in US or other English speaking countries in addition to a good number who were lucky enough to get better education at home when Sudanese School Certificate was more accredible than IGSCE ( English medium certificate). IGSCE students used to sit for an English exam.test by then if they wanted to join U of Kh. English is then main world communication tool as such to learn English language is manatory to find your way way on earth nowadays Tieing languages with identity and nationalism has created a great damage to Sudanese. To impose Arabic language in a country with more than 110 different native languages and scrap away English and all native languages has never given Sudan an Arabic identity. Amazingly enough our kids and young generations nowadays who have been born and raised in Arab countries hardly speak Arabic because they do not feel that they need it much than English for their studies or work.
