Charlie asked Faizal, "Don't you have a unilingual practice here?"

Faizal shook his head and said, "If we were to be unilingual, we should be speaking Arabic. However, the composition of the opposition force's soldiers is more complicated, and many of us do not speak Arabic." 2

"Some of these people have been living in other countries ever since they were young. Some of them lived in former colonial areas, so they have been speaking English or French ever since they were young. So, the language and communication between all of the soldiers are not entirely smooth and easy."

"Take me for instance. I actually went to the United States with my parents when I was very young, and I even got a green card. I served in the US Army for three years. I only responded to a call and came back to join the Freedom Army just a few years ago. So, my command of the Arabic language is very poor, and I can essentially only communicate in English." 2

Charlie nodded. This kind of multilingual situation was just like India. A considerable number of Indians did not speak Hindi. Moreover, each state in India had its own official language. Also, since it was once a British colony, English was one of its official languages.

Nevertheless, this kind of language confusion was very beneficial for Charlie. The more confusing the language landscape was, the easier it would be for him to mix in with the others. 3
