Somalia

About the flag

The flag of Somalia features a simple design with a light blue field and a white five-pointed star at its center. This star symbolizes the Somali people and their aspirations for unity. The blue color represents the sky and the Indian Ocean, while the white symbolizes peace and hope. Somalia gained independence in 1960, and its flag was adopted shortly thereafter. The distinctive design makes it easier to recognize among other flags. To remember Somalia's flag, think of its serene blue color reflecting the ocean under a clear sky, as well as the star representing unity among diverse clans. This combination of symbols makes the flag not just visually striking, but also rich in meaning.
