Xaaji Xunjuf Posted April 1, 2013 The Somali republic is now officially called the federal Somali republic what also needs to be done is a change of name for the army. The new name should be the Somali defense forces. The SNA left a negative memory on the vast majority of the Somalis. So since a new start for the people of Somalia the new name should be the Somali defense forces the SDF a new dawn a new name. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Waranle_Warrior Posted April 1, 2013 Also I agree with Xx's suggestion, I even like the meaning specially the word 'defense', the forces should defend the right and dignity of the Somali people and not serve the government or the leader of the country. It would be good if we add 'people' in there... someone come up with something that has people in it. C'mon guyz brainstorm, you never know SOLers may be inventing the name that's implemented.

DoctorKenney Posted April 2, 2013 Anything that has "People's Republic" or "People's Army" automatically means it's Communist or Socialist. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The former Somali republic is not reborn as you erroneously said, but rather it's Southern component is reborn as the Federal Somali Republic. The former Republic was dissolved in 1991 and can not be reborn without Somaliland being part of it again. Just like the former Yugoslavia was dissolved and no longer exists, the former Somali republic no longer exists and so only its Southern part is renamed. You can not say the former Yugoslavia is reborn as Serbia because Serbia was just one of its constituent nations. Please don't confuse the Konfurians any further:eek: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
