Should Somalia change its name?

[kickz]

Bantus were brought to Somalia as slaves.
Are you advocating cultural erasure?

 

[laasgeel]

what a stupid thread, should ireland change its name too since 17.8% of ireland is non ethnic irish?

Ireland is apart of the uk.

 

[laasgeel]

I didn't said that, I said adopt, this is Somalia, and if they see themselves belonging to it, then they need to adopt to its culture, but that doesn't necessarily means they need to abandon their original culture

Ireland is apart of the uk.

only the northeastern part of ireland is apart of the united kingdom not the entire nation.

You are not Somali, you're a foreign agent beach!

Northern Ireland are british.

Many call Somalia for Zoo(*)malia, that's worrying

 

[Aurelian]

A country with few minorities that came 50 ago and make up to 0.1 of its population
Some ppl be like:

Quite diverse aint it.? Let's change the name!

Northern Ireland are british.

Northern Ireland is entirely British, because they invaded it and clearly today there is no cuqdad between the Irish and the British.

how they got to northern ireland is absolutely irrelevant. They're indigenous to britain not ireland which the indigenous majority is ethnic irish, so it wouldn't make sense to name the entire irish island something else based on the brits in northern ireland

Northern Ireland was originally Irish lands lol.

exactly, so why should an entire nation change its name over a few foreigners?

 

[Jantster]

Why name a country after one tribe?

Which one tribe? If by that you mean the supposed "85%" ethnic Somalis, then that seems fair to me.

Somalia being named after one tribe has implications that everything in the country is theirs.
Its like calling Puntland, Majeerteenia, there are other clans.

Republic of Ireland is 83% Irish and it's called Ireland. Somalia is 90%+ Somali and it should also be called Somalia.

Northern Ireland are british.

Northern Irish folks are protestants. That's why they stayed with UK. There are barely any real English people there. Just protestant IRISH people. Had they been catholic then they would join Ireland without a doubt.
