Should Somalia be erased from history?

Postby SAK1 » Thu Jun 26, 2008 6:14 am

What I refer to is the name of the country, it's symbols, the name of the capital, the flag. The words Somalia, Baidoa and Mogadishu are seared into a negative image the world over.

If this wretched country was to ever be peaceful. How can it overcome the handicap of being called 'Somalia'?
How would it sell it itself to others, how would others invest, how would others treat us. When mention of this name is dog dirt.

Yes. I'm calling for the name and it's symbols to be retired. if people can redeem themselves why not states?
Something new and modern and will appeal to the world, should take it's place.

Something like 'Azania' or 'Banadir'. Well it's suggestion. There are millions of possibilities. A name like a 'brand' - with new symbols of state and national idenity. It can happen quickly and can produce powerful trade offs in a globalized world.

One thing is for sure. The name somalia is only fit for the bin.

Well who is going to invest in a country called Somalia? Who.
What tourist or worker will want to go there?

The name has negative images. I\m advocating that should there ever be security inside the country.
That then the need to think strategically globally is very important.

A name change would be a great idea. Somalia has a horrible connotation.

Stupid. There are countries like Rwanda with the genocide, Liberia with their TWO civil wars in half a decade...ANGOLA HAD A 28 YEAR CYCLE OF CONFLICT AND IS NOW AFRICA'S FASTEST GROWING ECONOMY...

Idiot, Somalia gets peace tomorrow, people will flock back and invest their hard earned money there and live there again and make it a worthwhile place to be.

looool I highly doubt changing the name is going to accomplish anything, though moving the capital to another city doesn't seem too bad.

name change, flag change, symbol change, the name of the capital change wont make any diference. its the people that need to change. they need to change their way of thinking and most importantly their way of acting. as in actions they take when they angry. somalis need to forgive each other and move on towards a better somali future. :love: :somalia: :love:
