"Independent source"[edit]

So @Vif12vf, if the organization is being led by a former monarch and it's goal is to restore the nation led by some former monarch, is that not monarchism? And just as a side note why did you revert the whole page instead of just removing that bit? NorthTension (talk) 17:54, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Between 28 August 1943 and 15 September 1946, the Tsardom of Bulgaria was ruled by Tsar Simeon Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. From 2001 to 2009 he led the National Movement for Stability and Progress, through which he was prime minister of the Republic of Bulgaria from 24 July 2001 to 17 August 2005. At no point during his modern political career has he advocated for the return of monarchy to Bulgaria, nor has he denounced the republic. Sure the old Sultan of Aussa might not be the former Tsar of Bulgaria, but the point is that unless we have a reliable third-party source that specifically states that the ALF want the creation of an independent Aussa or Afar Sultanate with the old Sultan's son or any other relative as monarch, we might as well assume his descendant wants to become prime minister, president or something else entirely. Lastly it is important to remember that we always try to avoid using primary sources for ideologies, and the sources need to be present in the article so that readers may verify the information on their own.
