Djibouti is a country located in the eastern part of Africa. The history of Djibouti is also characterized by ethnic conflicts and civil war and the French domination that forms an important part of the nation's history.
The colony votes in 1958 to stay with France and does so again in a referendum in 1967 (after which it is known as the French Territory of Afars and Issas, from the two main tribal groups). However in 1977 it becomes fully independent as the republic of Djibouti.
It was renamed the Territory of the Afars and Issas in 1967 and took the name of its capital city on June 27, 1977, when France transferred sovereignty to the new independent nation of Djibouti. On Sept. 4, 1992, voters approved in referendum a new multiparty constitution. In 1991, conflict between the Afars and the Issa-dominated government erupted and the continued warfare has ravaged the country.
Outlined Mahmoud Harbi, the national banner of Djibouti was formally endorsed on June 27, 1977, the day the nation got independence from the French. The outline of the national banner of Djibouti has been acquired from the banner of the Ligue Populaire Africaine pour l'Independence. The LPAI banner was not quite the same as the present banner of Djibouti as it had a red triangle containing a white star; the present banner of Djibouti has a red star on a white foundation and is put 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 flag stands for unity in the culturally diverse country and also represents the areas where the Somalis live. The flag of Djibouti was first hoisted in 1972 by the African National Liberation Union. In 1972 the colors had a different interpretation. The green color represented the Afar people and light blue stood for the Issas. These were the people who originally voted for the country to join the new Republic of Somalia. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of Djibouti for the future.
