Proposed New Somali Flag

[Ismahaan]

 

A new Somali flag is being proposed but by who and why? Is there a need for a new flag? I disapproves this flag because our flag has been a prominent icon in our national history.It is the symbol of our country's heritage;it represents freedom and the unity of Somali people (the five Somali regions which had been divided by the colonial powers).The designer of the Somali national flag Mr. Mohammed Awale Liban ( May Allah bless his soul) said the blue color stands the United Nations who help us to reach our dream of independence; white means peace and prosperity; the star is the five regions of Somali."United we stand and divided we fall”. Well, if we want to preserve our heritage for the next generation, we need to unite.

 

 

Somali Anthem

Somalia wake up,

wake up and lean on each other

support you country

Support them forever.

CHORUS:

Somaliyaay toosoo

Toosoo isku tiirsada ee

Hadba kiina taag daranee

who proposed the new flag, when and where is it proposed ???

Mise adigaa sameeyay ?

[nuune]

Whoever designed dat, has got color blind

[Rose]

hey stop complaining you still have the star and the blue background. dont like the colour co-ordination but really like the idea of incorporating the basmallah to the star and blue background. shows we are a nation of muslims innit

[Jacaylbaro]

The blue and the white star is for Somalia ,, the black color is for Alshabab and the bismillah is for Hizbul Islam ,,,,

 

Now you have everyone there ,,,

[Chimera]

*yuck*

[Caano Geel]

religious text on flags = bad .. just think of how many objects you see in a day with a flag on

[Faarax-Brawn]

^Bad? says who?

[ADNAAN]

where is the source yaa xaajiyo?

[Aaliyyah]

am content with our somali flag...

 

I wonder why theres a need for another flag?

[Emperor]

Much talk about ado miyaa la oran jiray, where we lack nationhood, land and peace, we talk of Calal, God is gracious, Somalidu waa very reseliant and patient people... Ilahay Wadanka Hanoo soo celiyo, Amiin dhaha, markaa flag aan kafakarno laba dhaha...

[-Lily-]

I agree, religious text is a bad idea. Imagine if you wanted to demonstrate and burn your flag?

[Salma]

To add more, sometimes when any muslim nation with a flag of islamic texts wants to celebrate, they start dancing and shaking while carrying the flag with ALlah's name on it while shaking and dancing,,, not good at all.

 

I don't understand why to change this flag,,, why don't they change their attitude & behavior instead??

[Diaspora_Dude]

Black portion conveys The Dark Period That State of Somalia is experiencing now. The red portion conveys the blood shed & atrocities that Somali's are committing to at each other.
