     Extractions: The shoving started just before lunchtime, during the edgy five minutes when hundreds of hungry students at Schenley High School line up outside the locked doors to the cafeteria. Elbows and backpacks poke and jostle in the shifting, buzzing crowd. The scent of sweat and strawberry lip gloss and perfume mingle as the crowd grows hot. Students push through to walk down the hall, knocking waiting students against one another. New School, New World During one such wait last month, two American girls approached Sowdo Darbane, a Somali refugee, and said they wanted to fight. One of them pushed Sowdo, who said she didn't push back. "I said, 'Don't touch me on the body, just talk to me out of your mouth,' " Sowdo, 15, said last week as she waited for the other Somali girls after playing beach volleyball in gym class.

     Extractions: An estimated 10-11 million people speak Somali today. The official languages of Somalia are Arabic and Somali. As a result of its colonial past, many southern Somalis also speak Italian. The Somalis are one of the oldest African groups in Britain, with communities in the port cities of Cardiff, Liverpool, Hull, South Shields and London . There are also important communities in Birmingham, Manchester and Leicester. A large proportion of those who have settled recently are victims of the civil war whose education has been seriously interrupted. The first wave of refugees arrived in England in the late 1980s via refugee camps in Ethiopia and Djibouti; they were mainly from the Isaaq clan. They tended to settle alongside clan members such as the former seamen of the East End of London. An estimated 70,000 Somalis live in the capital, approximately 10,000 of whom can be found in Tower Hamlets, an area which was the home of Somali seamen who stayed in the capital following service in World War 1. In a 2000 survey of London school children, Somali emerged as the tenth most commonly spoken language in the capital.
