SOMALIA    (Federal Republic of)    (Jamhuuriyadda Federaalka Soomaaliya / Jumhuriyat As Sumal Al Fideraliya)    [www.so]

            slavery unit : fuckin Somalian shilling        slavery tongue : Arab        tongue : Somali         10000000 idiot monkeys on 637657 kmē

            puke sects : muslim 97%    pagan + other 3%

            (NB : Colonial frontieres of shit in the whole AFRIKA since the 1885 Conference of Berlin of shit.)

        The country was created by the unification of the British Somaliland (North) & the Italian Somalia (East) in 1960. The light blue represents the flag of the UNO (that administrated Somalia from 1948 til 1960) but light blue is also the traditional color of the whole Somali people. The white star stands for freedom & its five points for the five countries where the Somalis are scattered : Somaliland, Somalia, Etiopia, Djibouti & Kenya. The present pattern was adopted on 12 OCTOBER 1954 & kept for the independence on 1 JANUARY 1960.



                                                                 capital : MOGADISHU




                1960    (independence)

                colonial 1889   (Italian Somalia)

                colonial 1886    (British Somaliland)




            Before a unity under the Italian rule and the REAL unity achieved in 1960, SOMALIA was split into many sultanates durin many centuries.


            ADAL SULTANATE    (1415-1577) :

                1415    (Ifat Sultanate replaced by Adal Sultanate - Ottoman Empire from 1577 till 1884)    (see Djibouti)

                1285    (Ifat Sultanate founded - probably no flag)


            AJURAN SULTANATE    (1200's-1600's) :

                1200's    (Ajuran Sultanate founded - flag 1576)


            DARWISH STATE    (1897-1920) :

                1897    (Darwish State founded)


            GELEDI SULTANATE    (1600's-1908) :

                colonial 1908    (incorporated into Italian colony)

                1600's    (Geledi Sultanate founded)


            HOBYO SULTANATE    (1878-1889) :

                colonial 1889    (Italian protectorate - incorporated into Italian colony in 1925)

                1878    (Hobyo Sultanate split off from Majerteen Sultanate)


            MAJEERTEEN SULTANATE    (1600's-1889) :

                colonial 1889    (Italian protectorate - incorporated into Italian colony in 1927)

                1600's    (Majeerteen -or Harti- Sultanate founded)


            MOGADISHU SULTANATE    (1330-1905) :

                colonial 1905    (leased to Italy in 1892 - annexed by Italy as part of Somalia in 1905)

                1871    (Mogadishu Sultanate under suzerainty of Zanzibar)

                1330    (Mogadishu Sultanate founded - probably no flag)


            WARSANGALI SULTANATE    (1298-1886) :

                1996   (new flag)

                1991   (independence from Somalia proclaimed)

                colonial 1903   (British protectorate of Somaliland / new flag - UK)

                colonial 1886   (British protectorate of Somaliland - UK)

                1298   (Warsangali Sultanate founded - probably no flag)






                Somalian War - situation in 2022

                It's quite "funny" to notice the present Federated States match +/- with ancient sultanates....
            Puntland State matches +/- with Majerteen Sultanate
            Galmudug State matches +/- with Hobyo Sultanate
            Hirshabelle State matches +/- with "Kingdom of Italy"
            Koonfur Galbeed State matches +/- with Majerteen Sultanate
            Jubaland State matches +/- with British East Africa Protectorate

                Somalian Federated States   -   SSC = SOOL, SANAAG & CAYN (renamed KHATUMO in 2012)
 
            6 Federated States + 1 Banadir Regional Administration (Mogadishu Municipality).

            BANAADIR / MOGADISHU :

                2017    (BANAADIR Regional Administration)                                (BANAADIR Regional Administration area matches 100% with MOGADISHU capital city)


            GALMUDUG :

                2015    (3:5)(Too bad they put Galmudug flag FIRST as it's REVERSED on the emblem.) BETTER >

                2011

                2010 ????        I realy DO wonder if this Galmudug flag has EVER EXISTED - It loox too much like OGADEN NATIONAL LIBERATION FRONT.

                2014    (5:9)


            JUBALAND :

                2011    (new autonomous Jubaland administration would be referred as to Azania)

                2010    (Shahada added on the flag)

                2006    (new proclamation of Jubaland State)

                2001    (Jubaland State is turned off on 18 June 2001 as a new administration loyal to the central government restored the former status.)

                1998   ("Republic of Jubaland" proclaimed - This is the REVERSED flag of the Western Somali Liberation Front that existed from 1973 till 1989. Red & green : Digil & Raxanweyn tribes.)


            PUNTLAND :

                2009                                                                                 

                2003    (never adopted propozal made after the colors green-white-red of the Western Somali Liberation Front flag)             WSLF 1973-1989

                1998


            SOMALILAND :

                1996                                                                                                 


            SOUTH WEST STATE renamed KOONFUR GALBEED in 2002 :

                August 2014                                                                       

                March 2014    (somethin is weird as this flag is very often named "WEST PUNTLAND")                   variant ????  Very pretty but too "Texas" !!!!

                January 2014

                1998



                                                                                                         I have reduced the stars from 6 to 3 and also dropped the 6 small stars on the crest.
            MARKO's project for 3 reazons :

            #1 = It creates a unity with the 4 other flagz that ALL uze light blue-white-green.

            #2 = I have reduced the number of stars from 6 down to 3 because the 6 small stars symbolize NOW the 6 continents of Planet Earth (!!!!!!) BUT no longer the regions that are only 3 since 11 August 2014.

            #3 = It loox + cute !!!!
