Republic of Djibouti
Djibouti's National flag was officially hoisted on 27 June 1977 upon independence. The colours are interpreted as: white - peace, light blue - sea and sky, green - earth. The red star is for unity. The flag was used in 1972 by the African National Liberation Union, but then the colours where interpreted differently. Green stood for the Afar people and light blue for the Issas, ethnic Somalis. |  |
