Italian colonial law forced Somalis to salute Italians or face flogging

Evidence

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.
