e! Not that wasn't my point. There was no somalia that time as there was no boarders. We cannot claim Djibouti is somalia. If Somaliland broke isn't somalia any more what i mean is a homeland is fixed and has a real meaning to every person. But a country is an artificial concept so it does not have a fixed reality in our minds.
Clear example is Saudi Arabia. used to called the land of najd and 7ijaz and was untill kuwait. So just your land's name have changed your homeland wont disapear. Am I clear? I cannot explain more than that.

[quote="DANGIRL"][quote="e!"][quote="hyperactive"]lol that is so simplistic.
You cannot claim a country where you don't have born or don't have their nationality. I cannot claim my country is somalia which neither I nor my forefathers born. While some one who was born and his forefathers born inside boarder known as somalia.
What i'm saying is country can change but homeland never. For example, consider the formar Czechoslovakia broke into countries. what ever your country broke or boarders names you still have your homeland but isn't same as your country.
