Colonial hospitals served white patients in separate wards from Somalis

Evidence

Yet the Algerian, when he sometimes would get a European to make his purchases, would see him return with the medicine which he had obtained without difficulty. The same Algerian had previously begged all the pharmacists of the vicinity, and had finally given up, having felt the last pharmacist’s hard and inquisitorial eye on him. The European would return, loaded down with medicines, relaxed, innocent. Such experiences have not made it easy for the Algerian to keep a balanced judgment toward members of the European minority. Science depoliticized, science in the service of man, is often non-existent in the colonies. For this Algerian who for hours has begged unsuccessfully for a hundred grams of sterile cotton, the colonialist world constitutes a monolithic block. — Frantz Fanon, A Dying Colonialism, 448 (#corroborates, via linked claim)

Introduced into Algeria at the same time as racialism and humiliation, Western medical science, being part of the oppressive system, has always provoked in the native an ambivalent attitude. — Frantz Fanon, A Dying Colonialism, 395 (#exemplifies, via linked claim)

For the Italian Administration regarded education for Somalis as, in the main, preparation for such limited technical tasks as should conveniently be assigned to them. However, in the mission elementary schools, Somali and Italian children were initially taught together in the same classes. But in 1929 De Vecchi’s successor Guido Corni, considering this practice incompatible with the proper relations between masters and ‘subjects’ – the status assigned to Somali – laid down that the two races must be taught in separate classes. — I.M.
