The funniest part of all this is that our flag isn't changing. Why would we change the greatest flag in the world?
That is badly construed of the actual matter. The ministry has announced due to varying variations of the Somali flag some using light blue, blue or really dark blue colours that it will award a 10 year contract to a Somali company that can produce the right flag of Somalia according to the flags guidelines for official use by the government, office of the President, embassies abroad and official festivities.
The flags should of the right colour and easily be distributed throughout the country and the company who wins it has to demonstrate that they are capable to do that and have offices throughout the country.
They must be able to produce all kind of flag sizes used for cars, buildings, offices and embassies.
This comes after the twenty odd years of war the national symbol was lost and it is to revive it by producing the flag according to its specifications.
If you go on Google images, you will find a few different colours so the government is trying standardize it.According to many this is our flag however Article 6 makes it clear it definitely is not. If you think this is Somalia's flag you failed. The flag of Somalia is light blue rectangle with a star in the centre which has five equal points.
