The Truth about the blue Somali flag

[Som]

I swear after watching this conspiracy theorist, I am convinced me that Cawaale's invention of our flag was inspired by the Italians coat of arms logo,the similarity also with the Italian coast guard flag and defence ministry is hard to ignore.

The Italian coast guard flag also is similar to the Somali flag.

What shocked me the most was the OP said the flag is broad sign stands for satanic lucificer worshipping cult and should be replaced, the SYL having a cross in their logo is also hard to digest, how did we miss all these clues.

Is it time for us to drop these colonial inspired flags and coat of arms,Do we need a complete makeover?

Reasons why the somali flag is NOT inspired by the colonial flag
1)Mohamed Awale said he designed the flag very quickly, the offical meaning of the blue is a tribute to the UN while the star is Soomaaliweyn.
Soomaaliweyn is s ANTICOLONIAL idea because they wanted to erase colonial borders.
2)Awale was part of the SYL who was notoriously anti italian in the late 40s.
3) i can only concede to the leopards maybe being inspired by the colonial coat of arms but it's just an animal part of our wildlife in Somalia.
4) the star in those italian flags is also called "the big star of italy"(stellone d'Italia) and its inspired by an Ancient greek emblem. Today the italian republic coat of arms has the star in it . However our five pointed star has nothing to do with the italian star.

tbhtbh those countries dont have direct relationships with each other. somalia was formerly a colony of italy (and britain) so the uncanny similarities between the current somali flag and the former italian somaliland coat of arms leads me to believe that it was ripped from it.

But the flag was designed by one guy (mohamed awale) and only he knows what he was inspired by. The flag has an official meaning , anything else is speculation

They are not exclusive to Iranian groups. Red white and green are also arab colours.

I could go on.

The Somaliland flag has got those 3 colours and also arabic letters do you know why?

Italians have a thing for the blue flag and white star, I urge our Somalian neighbors to change their flag and leave the Italian colonial leftovers

The Somalian coat of arms also raises some questions

Our Blue is lighter and exactly the same as the Un Blue. The offical meaning of the color is to honour ths UN and the sea/sky of Somalia.
It has no relationship to the italian coat of arms
I challenge anyone to find an official source saying that the flag was designed by italians or inspired by them.
Here is an official quote by Enrico Martino former administrator of the italian somalia trust territory. He said this the day the somali flag was raised in 1954
"With a happy intuition you have chosen the unmatched color of your sky and the burning lights of your nights as a symbol and guide for you. Long live Somalia! "

 

[Som]

Let's also remember that the blue flag was the first flag of the state of somaliland between 26 june 1960 and 1st july 1960.
The first time the somali flag was raised in a indipendent nation it was in Hargeysa -Somaliland. Why would landers accept an italian colonial flag? Obviously it was never percieved as such

 

[Som]

And last thing. Italians themselves never claimed that the flag was inspired by them. I can assure you they would say it if it was true.
The only people claiming this nonsense are self hating somalis and lander Internet trolls. Stop spreading misinformation before xabashis and other people use this to mock us.

You know how SYL was anti italian? They even massacred italians in the 1948 demonstrations in Mogadishu. Why would they copy the italian emblems for their party symbol?
Come on. SYL was anti italian from day one, they didn't even want to be a trust territory for 10 years

come on @Som its obviously heavily inspired if its not ripped right from it. what are the chances that it just happened to bear the resemblances it does to the colonial coats of arms? the fact that the leopard from the colonial coats of arms is also present in the current coa adds weight to the idea that much of the current international symbols of somalia were based off the colonial works

 

[tyrannicalmanager]

you nigga would complain if the flag was changed anyways
black flag with shahada = terrorist
Pan african flag = Jare*r lover
pan arabic flag = Arab bootyclapper
anything with a crecent moon = turkophile
Adal flag = WEWUZSULTANS
Dervish flag = Qabilist

Bro, our flag is literally based on an anti colonial concept like pansomalism. There is zero evidence to say it was based on the colonial symbols , the guy who designed the flag explained it's meaning countless times and if he was inspired by italian emblems he would have said it. Post 1950s Somalia had no problem with italians and even siyaad was a friend of italy, if what you are saying is true we would have some kind of interview or statement by Awale but there is none

 

[Revolutionary]

The flag was made in inspiration from the UN and the Italians, terrible

bro just use your eyes. the influence from the colonial coat of arms is staring you in the face. the only way it could get more obvious is if he kept the leopard in the flag. the flag was ripped from the colonial coats of arms man just accept it

Dude, the guy who designed the flag told us the meaning. What else do you need?
Maybe the coat of arms is influenced by the italian leopards but the flag itself was inspired by the UN.
