History Of Djibouti Flag

By Denny White


After World War II French Somaliland, like all other French colonies, is given the status of overseas territory within the French Union. And, again like all others, it has the option in 1958 to sever links with France or to remain within what is henceforth known as the French Community.

Djibouti was acquired by France between 1843 and 1886 through treaties with the Somali sultans. Small, arid, and sparsely populated, it is important chiefly because of the capital city's port, the terminal of the DjiboutiĆ¢€"Addis Ababa railway that carries 60% of Ethiopia's foreign trade. Originally known as French Somaliland, the colony voted in 1958 and 1967 to remain under French rule.

French control over the African country increased during the 19th century. The present capital city of Djibouti was established by the French in 1896. The year 1977 was a watershed period in Djibouti history.

Designed Mahmoud Harbi, the national flag of Djibouti was formally approved on June 27, 1977, the day the country gained independence from the French rule. The design of the national flag of Djibouti has been borrowed from the flag of the Ligue Populaire Africaine pour l'Independence (LPAI). The LPAI flag was different from the present flag of Djibouti as it had a red triangle containing a white star; the present flag of Djibouti has a red star on a white background and is placed in an upright position.

The Djibouti Flag is comprised of two equivalent flat groups: light blue at the top and green at the base of the banner. On the left side is a white isosceles triangle that bears a red five-pointed red star. Each of the hues used as a part of the banner has a typical significance. The blue stands for the unmistakable blue skies and the waters of Djibouti; green symbolizes the earth and the lavish greenery of the nation's scene; white is the shade of peace and agreement.

The red star in the center of the banner stands for solidarity in the socially different nation furthermore speaks of the zones where the Somalis live. The banner of Djibouti was initially lifted in 1972 by the African National Liberation Union. In 1972, the hues had an alternate understanding. The green meant the Afar individuals and blue remained for the Issas. These were the general population who initially voted in favor of the nation to join the new Republic of Somalia. The Flag Company Inc represented considerable authority in banner plans offered an uncommon version of decals and banners to retain the historical backdrop of Djibouti for the future generations.
