Djibouti is a country located in the eastern part of Africa. The history of Djibouti is also characterized by ethnic conflicts and civil war and the French domination that forms an important part of the nation's history.
Djibouti was acquired by France between 1843 and 1886 through treaties with the Somali sultans. Small, arid, and sparsely populated, it is important chiefly because of the capital city's port, the terminal of the Djiboutiâ€"Addis Ababa railway that carries 60% of Ethiopia's foreign trade. Originally known as French Somaliland, the colony voted in 1958 and 1967 to remain under French rule.
French control over the African country increased during the 19th century. The present capital city of Djibouti was established by the French in 1896. The year 1977 was a watershed period in Djibouti history.
Outlined Mahmoud Harbi, the national banner of Djibouti was formally endorsed on June 27, 1977, the day the nation got independence from the French. The outline of the national banner of Djibouti has been acquired from the banner of the Ligue Populaire Africaine pour l'Independence. The LPAI banner was not quite the same as the present banner of Djibouti as it had a red triangle containing a white star; the present banner of Djibouti has a red star on a white foundation and is put in an upright position.
The Djibouti Flag is made up of two equal horizontal bands: light blue at the top and green at the bottom of the flag. On the hoist side is a white isosceles triangle that bears a red five-pointed red star. Each of the colors used in the flag has a symbolic meaning. The color blue stands for the clear blue skies and the pristine waters of Djibouti; green symbolizes the earth and the lush greenery of the country's landscape; white is the color of peace and represents harmony.
The red star in the center of the banner stands for solidarity in the socially different nation furthermore speaks of the zones where the Somalis live. The banner of Djibouti was initially lifted in 1972 by the African National Liberation Union. In 1972, the hues had an alternate understanding. The green meant the Afar individuals and blue remained for the Issas. These were the general population who initially voted in favor of the nation to join the new Republic of Somalia. The Flag Company Inc represented considerable authority in banner plans offered an uncommon version of decals and banners to retain the historical backdrop of Djibouti for the future generations.
