The Flag of Somalia:

The current flag of Somalia was adopted on the 12th of October 1954 and despite a succession of coups, it hasn’t changed. The colors on the flag were adopted from those of the United Nations flag. Somali attained its independence following intervention by the United Nations.

The blue color on the flag represents the skies and the five point white star represents the five main Somali groups; the Issas, Ethiopian-Somalis, Issaks, Somalis from the Italian-Somaliland and Kenyan-Somalis.
