Both of them originally had their flags inverse to what it is currently. Somaliland had red on top with middle white and green bottom. They later inverted the colors.

The Ethiopian flag is the same. Originally the red was on top and later it was inverted.

Before this flag, it was triangles with colors arranged in the same fashion. It is the Lion of Judah carrying the flag, Tewahedo faith and the Kebra Nagast crown.
SNM declare SL restoration of sovereignty on May 18 and TPLF came to power in May 1991. It is the main cell of the EPDRF coalition, which itself was formed on May 1988. On the 2nd of May 1889 Menelik II signed the Wuchale treaty with Italy. Mengistu Haile Mariam was born on May too.
Ginbot meaning May is significant day even the Ethiopian opposition is called May 7 (after the May 2005 Ethiopian police massacres/elections). Eritrea joins us too, who will mark their Ginbot 24 later in the month.
I thought I put that out
The greetings
Happy Ginbot to everyone from SL, ET to Eritrea!
