So guys read and decide which one should be best, for police divisions, and such and such.I would like to start this debate by presenting a number of flags that I designed on this influential website. I hope my article and flags advance the case for a change. Change does not necessarily mean getting rid off the flag entirely. Let us take baby steps and start the debate.
I will not ask you whether you like or dislike our current flag, the question is rather simple; Is it the right symbol for Somaliland for the next 100 years?
I have not changed the colour scheme as they are not so bad but I have rearranged them. In my design, GREEN means growth, nature and as Islam teaches us regeneration or fertility. The WHITE color is a reflection of our sincerity, openness, hospitality, peace and humility. Let me remind you during pilgrimage Muslims wear only white piece of clothe and during truce white flag is used. RED is blood and power. The KUDU (antelope) is a native animal reflecting our motherland, it also represents power (long horns, high jumps, kicks) and vigilance (always alert, sensitive ears and nose). Alternatively, the STAR reflects the five Somali families (Somaliland, NFD, Western Somalia, Djibouti and Somalia) like the Somali flag. We don’t have to completely erase the past and remember the old blue flag was commissioned for Somaliland in 1954. We are Somalis by ethnic and Somaliland can be home for other Somalis.
For both the police and navy, I have replaced the RED with BLUE to reflect law of the land and the ocean. I have moved the KUDU to the center almost inside a blue circle to reflect our defense is always at the heart of our nation.
