History, composition and use of the Somali flag

Located on the edge of the Horn of Africa, the Federal Republic of Somalia has land borders with Kenya, Djibouti and Ethiopia. It borders the Indian Ocean and the Gulf of Aden. This country has important mining resources such as uranium, iron, bauxite and copper. Its economy is based on agriculture, salt mines and oil, but unfortunately it is the country with the lowest HDI (Human Development Index) on the planet due to many factors such as conflicts, wars and civil wars in recent decades.

However, the Somali flag is a flag of hope. It consists of a light blue background and a white star. It was adopted on 12th October 1954 to symbolize the union between Italian and British Somali. This flag uses the themes and colours of the UN flag to pay tribute to this international organization and the peacekeepers who helped Somalia to break away from Italian (and British) rule and gain independence from Italy and the United Kingdom in the early 1960s.

The five-pointed white star represents the five main areas of the world inhabited by the Somali people (including 14,341,000 Somali inhabitants in Somalia): namely, former British Somalia, former Italian Somalia, Djibouti (former French Somalia), the Ogaden region in Ethiopia and northern Kenya. It should be noted that there is also a Somali diaspora in Yemen, South Africa, North America and Australia.

This flag is used as the national land and sea flag of the country.
