Premium Somaliland Flag

Description

Elevate your display with our premium Somaliland flag, a powerful and deeply symbolic emblem of this de facto independent state in the Horn of Africa, which is internationally recognized as an autonomous region of Somalia. Renowned for its unique cultural identity, historical significance, and ongoing pursuit of international recognition, its flag represents the aspirations of its people. This distinctive flag features three equal horizontal stripes: green (top), white (middle), and red (bottom). In the centre of the green stripe, the Shahada (the Islamic declaration of faith) is inscribed in white Arabic script. In the centre of the white stripe, a black five-pointed star is prominently displayed.

The design and elements of the Somaliland flag are rich with national, religious, and historical symbolism:

• The green stripe (top) symbolizes prosperity and Islam, the predominant religion in Somaliland.
• The white stripe (middle) represents peace and purity. It reflects Somaliland’s commitment to stability and its peaceful separation from Somalia.
• The red stripe (bottom) signifies the blood shed in the struggle for liberation and the sacrifices made for independence.
• The Shahada (the Islamic declaration of faith) on the green stripe: “لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّٰهُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ ٱللَّٰهِ” (Lā ʾilāha ʾillā Allāh, Muḥammadun rasūlu Allāh), which translates to “There is no god but God; Muhammad is the Messenger of God.” This sacred text underscores the nation’s strong adherence to Islamic principles. Due to its sacred nature, the flag is never flown at half-mast.
• The black five-pointed star on the white stripe symbolizes the dream of a Greater Somalia, encompassing five regions inhabited by ethnic Somalis (present-day Somaliland and Somalia, Djibouti, the Ogaden region in Ethiopia, and the North Eastern Province in Kenya). However, in the context of Somaliland’s independence claim, it has increasingly come to represent the demise of that greater Somali union and the recognition of Somaliland’s separate identity.

This powerful combination of Pan-African colours, Islamic scripture, and the star creates a flag that vividly articulates Somaliland’s distinct national identity, its religious foundation, and its complex historical journey.
