Description
This Somalian flag is manufactured in the United States from high-quality, weather-resistant nylon, creating a lightweight flag suited for outdoor flying. The blue field and white star are digitally printed for sharp lines and bold, vivid color. The inks used in the printing process are UV-resistant, helping to prevent fading from sun exposure.
A strong canvas heading and two brass grommets provide secure attachment to any standard outdoor flagpole. Our flag of Somalia is available in the sizes 2' x 3', 3' x 5', 4' x 6', 5' x 8', and 6' x 10', offering options for a variety of flagpole and display settings.

Somalia Flag Meaning & History
The Republic of Somalia flag was designed by Somali scholar Mohammed Awale Liban and adopted on October 12, 1954, several years before Somalia became independent in 1960. The light blue field surrounds a centered white star with five equal points.
The five-pointed star is often called the Star of Unity. Its five points represent the five regions historically inhabited by Somali people before the establishment of the Republic of Somalia, including Djibouti, Somaliland, parts of Ethiopia and Kenya, and modern-day Somalia. The light blue and white colors of the flag refer to the United Nations flag, symbolizing Somalia’s history as a UN Trust Territory.
