SAUDI News Reporter showing respect for SL TAWHEED FLAG in XAJ

[theyuusuf143]

there is great possibility that the original designers borrowed the tawheed calligraphy directly from the Saudi Arabian flag. Keep in mine the liberation leaders were mainly based in Saudi Arabia at that time and The last Somaliland flag designer was ethnically Arab. There is nothing wrong taking inspiration from other designs. If you look Arab league countries they all have similar flags and national emblems, Somaliland is very much linked to these countries it's not surprising if we share similar things. Our current flag is beautiful as it stands unless you are anti Islam symbols hiding behind some bullshit "colonization" excuse . The only thing between us and Saudi Arabia is that shahada.

Ben Dover is anti Islam yet he supports SNM which was a pro Sharia Islamist movement while the kacaan was secular

So anti Arab = anti Islam? Caqli meesha kumabahaysid sxb.

But you bet I am anti Arab.

Borrowed?

They copied it verbatim. literally just lifted it from Saudi flag. And you say borrowed?

We have a mini Saudi flag on Somaliland's flag. This is a fact. It does not do your cause any favours, that too is a fact.

Arabs have similar flags as per the pan Arabism movement. We are not Arabs. By the same token I could take your clear attempt at whitewashing the issue as being an undercover Wahabi Saudi ass-licker. It goes both ways.

SL flag was designed on different stages, the basic 3 colors always were present even during snm,but in different order, the takbeer and the shahada were used before as well, I think during cigaal government ,AUN, they finalize it and put the green color on top along with the shahada,as green describe peace and prosperity and gives importance over the bloody red,and to give space for the black star ,the shahada were moved to the upper part of the flag.....i dont think resembling saudi flag has anything to do with us.

Why must a flag tell the entirety of SL story, history, and future aspirations? We might as well add the camel to symbolise prosperity, and whilst we are at it represent the 5 regions that make up SL and add a horse to appease the Dhulos

Flags do not work like that.

A simple design like the very first SNM flag would make for a great looking flag.



Its clean, elegant and powerful. There is economy of line and symbolism at work here.

well sxb, we can certainly speak about this subject on and on,but we cant change anything, to me ,the flag is just fine,yes, i would preferred a different colors or design to make ourselves more distinguished .

the snm flag u posted is missing the takbeer .and it is a nice flag as well,but without ithe takbeer it will look like although it looks like the traffic permissive sign or even like the dhagax cabood culture of japan and south korea who have circles with while background.

a lot of countries put religious signs on their national flat or national emblem , like turky,pakistan,iran..etc who have the star and crescent sign or even western countries like UK,sweden,israel and finland who have the cross sign as well.

to me ,flag should represent the identity of a nation.

The shahada does contribute something to our cause. The first song radio broadcasted after the declaration was "Somaliland dadkayga, Somaliland dalkayga dusha waxa u sudhan calan aan degayn, aan degayn and degayn calan aan degayn !" the chorus of the song emphasizes how Somaliland nationhood will never fall back. The shahada on top of our flag supports this vow. Somaliland is among the two or three nations that don't lower their flags for honor. When our leader Egal (ahun) died in may 2002 the flag was not flown at half - mast. It's also spiritually important for our people we say "allaw dhowr" (God protects) every day. And it's working Somaliland is actually protected by God. No disaster, no terrorism, no piracy , no robbery. Nothing .

Weliba waxaan ka iloobey xabad kaluun oo duulaysa to rally our Maakhir brothers

One of my biggest gripes with the current flag is the use of text. I would not mind a crescent or similar but the text is not appropriate for placement on a national flag. A flag should be a purely visual symbol, using typography is just cheap imo which is why you have so few national flags with any text, let alone religious inscriptions.

I know we cant change much but every chance I get to shit on the current flag, in writing of course, I do my best to empty the tank . It is not in good taste. And for a country that seeks recognition this seems like self-harm almost.

This sub clannish Arab fish and chips can't even comprehend Arabic. Let me translate what your Arab master said:

The Muslims in the land of the somalis( Somaliland) put the flag of saudi Arabia above their flag in recognition and appreciation of the kingdom and the servant of the tow shrines.

I Don't know how such arrogant ignorance of a camel molester can be regarded as a compliment to us.

[smartyt]

Sxb stop supporting SNM out of tribalism it was an Islamist movement who had Sharia law on their agenda they will had stoned you to death you can not take islamism out of SNM one of the thing SNM was really angry about was that they feelt the kacaan had raped somalia by taking Islam out of the public life

[ramzy2277]

What recognition has to do with a flag..?!. UN requirements for a soverign state is defined borders,government that extends over those borders,defined people within those borders.

any country who want to make bi-literal recognition wont look at the flag but at their sole interests in having official relations with u.

can't see how adopting a different flag would help in our cause...?!

Go on..

Would you thus support SNM today?

What does the good doc Samatar say?

Aduunka waa inaad ka iibiso qadiyaddaada. You've got to sell SL to the world.

Presentation, branding and visual symbolism are powerful tools that you should use in your quest. Saudi flag baan lasoo shir imi is just failure on your part to present your case to the world.

[jalaaludin5]

So the Tawheed belong to Saudi Arabia?

This is a new one.
