This is why Somaliland needs a name change

So many landers have been advocating for Adal to be our official name. Sounds aesthetically pleasing. And finally we can focus in protecting our new name from being tarnished. Inshallah this is our new name.
You are Habar Xabusheed... what do you have to do with Adal?
 
Somaliland was part of Adal. That's a known historical fact, nothing to do with Somalia.
Not good to project current politics onto the past. It had nothing to with SL or Somalia and actually it would have included 'Somalia' too because Puntland was also within its territory. Adal also was the suzereign over the southern Sultanate so it effectively ruled the whole thing

Any name other than Somali will do. And that's including Adal.

Adal ruled much of Somaliland and it's part of our history which give us more right to use that name

This is historical revisionism

Adal was first of all not a nation-state but an Islamic sultanate mainly pan Somali but also including other Muslim ethnicities.
It was still part of our history and if we change it to Adal its still attached to us jsaaqs and awdals.
