Puntland Flag and Coat of Arms approved today by Legislative!

[General Duke]

The flag is an important symbol of the ongoing development of the Puntland identity within Somalia. It is not a rebel flag like the SNM or Somaliland flag, no it was created by memebers of the public in an open competetion that's the type of process and engagement the Somali people crave for.

It is not a cesessionist or sepretist flag as it has the Blue and white star featured prominently in it's make up.

 

I am pleased with it and like the name, will be embraced by the people of Puntlant.

 

As for the Young Turks, it's a political term used to signify changing of the old guard and the entrance of the new. From the corpse of Ottoman Empire emerged the Turkish identity an Turky itself. From the anarchy of Somalia and hopelessness insha Allah will emerge a new republic And Puntland as the catalyst.

Although a state in a federal system like the USA have their own flags, Somalia is in such turmoil that some people will consider this as a step toward secession. For that reason, I think it was premature to adopt this new flag. The fact that the blue flag was flying over Puntland since the collapse of the central government was source of pride to all Somalis. The Faroole administration and the parliament need to reassure Somalis that this new flag does not become a source of tension and is subservient to the national blue flag of Somalia

^^^^^^^Good point!!!!!

[Qandalawi]

It is not about whether it is beautiful or ugly, it is the symbol of the state of Puntland and that is what matters.

 

Flags are not chosen because of their colorful beauty but meaning, this flag has met all the criteria that Puntland commitee has asked for including and most importantly the blue Somali flag should be in it, that does it for me.

 

Now the Somali regions of Puntland have a flag in which the greater blue white star flag can be seen within the regional flag, stunning.

 

PS: Somali has a federal government, and every state will have their own symbols.

[UZTAAD]

KKL, good point, I like these three colors blue , white and green.

[General Duke]

Peace action have you seen the new flag? It has the national flag as an integral part of it.

 

KK summed it up nicely, this is a symbol of state and we shall welcome and embrace it.

We designed the blue flag

Yaah? Which blue flag are you referring to?

 

 

I am feeling FiqiKhair's added touch to the new flag...Well done...

Sister you seem surprised, the blue one aad haada la roortan iyo the song aad ku heestan ba, nimaan uu dashey the clans of what is now called Somaliland aya sameyeh

 

Puntland has a flag now. Okay,

[NGONGE]

It's a good flag. It's got the blue flag of Somalia at the top of it (first come Somalia). It has white in the middle (then come peace). It has green in it (then comes prosperity). The gibberish that Fiqi put in the middle spoils it a little but I guess that is his interpretation and not the real flag.

[Qandalawi]

^You are right, that is his interpretation and no text in it. True text will spoil a flag and shouldn't be included, only colours and other symbols may be but a text of any form is a definate bore for any flag.

[Qandalawi]

Ibtisam, people from the north are Somalis, and no problem with it if they designed the Somali flag or made the song. Besides, there are many Somalis from North clans of the SNM but still and passionately believe in Somaliweyn, Buuba is a great Somali politician, Hadraawi also Somalist poet and who can forget the great Abdulahi Suldan Timacadde's Kanna Siib kana saar, a powerful Somaliweyn poet.
