Background

Flag of Puntland (2009 - )

On Tuesday, 22 December 2009, the Puntland Parliament adopted a new flag as the state's symbol. With more than 33 votes in favour, the Puntland Parliament has
showed that the state is ready to strengthen its political dimension as part of the Somali federation.

It is the first time the self declared state has adopted distinctive state symbols, since it's creation in 1998.

The Puntland constitution states that the regional administration should have it's own flag and anthem, as part of the Federal Republic of Somalia.  The flag and anthem of the state was selected by a commission of state officials and Puntland intellectuals.

The minister of Constitution and Federal Affairs of Puntland, Dr.Jima'ale, who chaired the commission presented the selected flag and state anthem to the parliament. Members of Parliament rejected the proposed anthem, but approved the flag and the state emblem.

The new flag consists of the three horizontal stripes in blue, white and green:

The blue stripe with the white star symbolize the Somali flag; of which Puntland is part.
The central white stripe symbolizes the peace and stability of the region.
The green stripe symbolizes the natural wealth of the Puntland State.
Jens Pattke, 23 Dec 2009

I'd just wanted you to know that as of 22 December 2009 the Puntland adopted a new flag and emblem to represent the State. This is along with the Somali Flag, which has not been replaced by the new
flag but should fly beside the new Puntland flag as Puntland considers itself as part of Somalia and wants to join a future federal republic of Somalia.

CALANKA SOMALILAND MA KA MASAXNAA KALMADA TAWXIIDKA AH, IMISA WADAN OO KALE AYAA TAWXIIDKA CALANKA KU QORAN INALA WADAAGA?

malaysia : (HWN).  Waxa hubaal ah in dad badani ay maanta is waydiinayaan su´aasha ah, "Tolow wadaadkii miyuu waashay? bal hadaba aynu maanta maqaalkeenan aynu ku qaada dhigno, sababta keentay ama baahida jirta. Hadaba waxa hubaal ah in maanta ay aduunka ka jiraan in ka badan 55 wadan oo muslim ah, Almost 55 Muslim countries globally. dhamaantoodna hal dal oo ka mid ah calankooda kuma qorna kalmada tawxiidka ahi, marka laga reebo wadanka  Sucuudiga (Saudi Arabia) isagana maanta la odhan karo waa dhulkii barakaysnaa ee xaramka ilaahay ku yaalay inkastoo dawlad barakaysani dalkaas aanay kaba jirin. Bal hadaba aynu is waydiino maxay tahay sababta dhawr iyo konton dal oo muslim sheegta oo carabi ka buuxdo in ay kalmadan tawxiidka ah calankooda ugu qoran waayeen, mise tolow waabe yaabe, waanay garanayn macnaha ku duugan kalmadan? maxaa hadaba inaga dhaxal inoo siiyen ma tahay wax lays waydiin karo, hadii Somaliland ama dhamaan wadamada kale ee muslimka ee aduunka ka jiraa aan midkoodna ku dhaqmin wax shareeco islaam ah laakiin ay magac ahaan u wada haystaan. waxa tusaale ahaan kuugu filan wadamada ay ka midka yihiin sida Pakistan, Iiraan iyo afkaanistaan magacyada u qoran ama registration-ka aduunka ugu jira, (There internationally known official names of these countries) waa  sida tan,  Islamic Republic of Pakistan, Afghansitan and Iran.  Hadaba waxa kuu cad in wadamadani ay yihiin kuwo magac ahaan u haysta kalmada islaam la yidhaahdo oo aan dalalkooda looga dhaqmin amaba laysku xukumin wax shareeco islaam ah. Magaca ay sheegtaana uu yahay Islamic Republic. Waxa kale oo intaas kuu sii dheer qaar kale oo fara badan oo iyagu ku qafiifay magaca carabnimo ee jamhuuriga ah oo iyagana waxa ka mid ah sida wadamada Masar, Siiriya, Yeman iyo Liibiya, hadaba wadamadan magacyada iyagana u qoran waa (The official names on the international stage) ee dabcan aduunka looga yaqaano waa sida tan, Arab republic of Egypt, Siiriya, Liibiya and Yeman

 
Waxa kale oo jira iyaguna wadamo kale oo carbeed oo magaca carabnimada aduunka looga yaqaano laakiin aan isticmaalin magaca jamhuuri ama Republic ama Islamic, Waxa wadamadaas iyaguna ka mid ah sida United Arab Emirates (UAE) iyo Saudi Arabia. oo iyagu sheegta magaca carabnimo. Hadaba dhamaan wadamada sheegta muslimka ee maanta aduunka ka jira kuma jiro hal dal oo ka mid ah oo lagu maamulo shareecada islaamka, xataa Sucuudi Carabiya (Saudi Arbia) ku dar oo ah dhulkii barakaysnaa. Laakiin magac ahaan ayey u wada haystaan haday la baxaan carab jamhuuri ama Islamic Republic, Eventually it doesn´t really concerns to me at all, it´s entirely upto them, whatever they called themselves, anyway. Hadaba anigoon lahayn maxaa dalalkan shareecatul islaam loogu maamuli waayey oo shaqo aniga ii taala aanay ahayn. Hadaba sidaan qabo waxay dalalkan dunida muslimka lagu sheego ay diinta islaamka u haystaan dhaqan ahaan, tusaale ahaan waa ta keentay, in maanta wadan kasta oo yurub iyo maraykan ah aad ka heli karto gabadh kasta oo aad guursato laakiin maanta hadaad tahay Somali ama qof madow aanad dunida carbeed aanad ka heli karin gabadh aad guursato oo carabiyada ah, iyagoo kuu arkaaya in aad tahay adoon ama qof liita. waxa hadaba is waydiin leh, aaway diintii islaamka ee cadaalada ku dhisnayd ee adoonka xoraysay ee dadka madow iyo cadaan iyo cajabi intaba sintay ee kala saraynta diiday, ee taajir iyo fiqiirba sintay ee cadaaladu ka buuxday (Islam is the real and undisputed Democracy). Hadaba tani waxay kuu muujinaysaa in wadan kastaaba uu leeyahay dhaqan kaas oo ay ka koraysiiyeen diinta ay sheeganayaan ee islaamka ah. Dhaqankaas oo ah ka ogolaaday ee  albaabka u furay waxyaalaha ay ka midka yihiin sida, Dulmiga, cadaalad darada, waxshiga, quudhsiga, sinada, xaaraanta, xanta, xaasid nimada, beenta, khaayinimada iyo waxyaalo kale oo badan oo aanan halkan aanan ku soo koobi karin oo dhamaantood ay diintu mamnuucday. 
 
Hadaba anigoo usoo degaaya dulucda maqaalkaygan waxay tahay, waxa maanta jirta in ay dhaqan inoo noqotay in aroos kasta oo somali leedahay, meeshu doono haka dhaco in arooskaas oo rag iyo dumar iyo dabcan kooxdii muusiga tumaysayba loo wada dhan yahay, in hadana quraan lagu furo arooskaas oo weliba la yidhaahdo waxaynu ku bilaabanaynaa aayadaha quraanka kariimka ah,iyadoo la adeegsanaayo kalmada ah, sidii caadada iyo dhaqanka inoo ahayd. ka dibna qoob ka ciyaar ayaa xiga. Waxa kale oo kuu sii dheer in calanka Somaliland oo kalmada tawxiidki ku qoran tahay in xaflad kasta rag iyo dumar madaxa lagu wada duuban yahay meel kasta oo aduunka ka mid ah, waxa kale oo jira garamo uu ku sawiran yahay calanku oo tawxiidku ku qoran yahay in suuliga ama musqusha lala galo amaba furayaal uu calanku ku sawiran yahay oo jeebka kuugu jira aad suuliga la gelayso isagoo intaasba kalmadaas tawxiidki ku wada qoran tahay, iyo dabcan waxyaalo kaloo badan, markaas  taas ma odhan karnaa waxay ka mid tahay hadaynu nahay Soomaali, waxyaalaha dhaqankeena lagu gartee inoo gaarka ah?.
 
hadaba dalkeena mabda´a looga dhaqmaa maaha oo ma noqon karo, Arab Republic of Somaliland ama Islamic republic of Somaliland laakiin waxa dalkeena looga dhaqmaa waa mabda dimoqraadi ah oo ku dhisan ama xanbaarsan dhaqan iyo hab qabiil. Somaliland is a democratic country with a democratic principles based on strong traditional and cultural backgrounds. markaas kalmadan tawxiidki munaasib kuma aha calankeena ayaan qabaa. Waxa hadaba jirta in maanta dalalkaas kor ku xusan ee dunida muslimka ah aan dhamaantood mid ka mid ah aan lagu xukumin wax shareeco islaam ah isla markaasna calamadooda oo aad hoos ka daawan kartaan aaanay ku qornayn kalmada tawxiidka ah. Hadaba dalkeena hooyo ee Somaliland oo aan isna looga dhaqmin ama lagu xukumin shareeco islaam ah, miyaanay yaab ahayn in hadana calankeena ay ku qornaato kalmada tawxiidka ah. Waxa kale oo hadaba is waydiin leh, maxaynu kalmadan culayskeeda iyo danbigeeda aynu ku caashaqnay hadaan laga run sheegayn. Waxa kale oo is waydiin mudan maxaa waxaas oo wadamo oo carab iyo cid kastaba leh ay kalmadan tawxiidka ah ay calankooda ugu qoran waayeen, maxay tahay sababtu?  "I sometimes wonder if we are not truly serious about it, why on earth this powerful and magnificent word appears on our national flag". mise waaba yaabe kalmadan waynu ka faashanaa sida qolyaha qabuuraha caabuda oo kale.  
wax kastana diintu way cadaysay, The noble Quran has clearly and perfectly defined that  " whatever you worship other than Allah is indeed taking you into hell fire"   "Worship only the creator not the creation" !!!!!!
 
Hadaba waxa kaloo jira dad badan oo khaasatan Somaliland u dhashay ayaa qaba fikrada ah waxa Somaliland loo aqoonsan waayey waa kalmada tawxiidka ah ee calankeena ku qoran, hadaba waxaan jeclahay dadka sidaas u fikiraaya in ay ogaadaan in ictiraafka Somaliland aanay hortaagnayn kalmadan tawxiidka ah ee calankeena ku qoran, laakiin ay ku xidhan tahay kolba sidaad dalkaaga ugu dadaashid meeshaad doontaba joog, iyo wax u qabadka dadkaaga baahan sidii aad gacan uga geysan lahayd. Hadii Alle ogolaado, ictiraafku wuu iska iman doona, when, what, how and wherever it takes, regardless of what; Waxaan jeclahay dadka sidaas u fikiraaya in aan xasuusiyo odhaahdii caan baxday ee uu yidhi madaxweynihii hore ee dalka maraykanka ee la odhan jiray John F. Kennedy waxa uu yidhi,  "Ask not what your country can do for you - Ask what you can do for your country" Waxa kale oo uu madaxweyne Kennedy yidhi sida tan, "Let every nation know that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship and challenges, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty in Somaliland!. Besides, we must never negotiate out of fear but let us never fear to negotiate, for the sake of our national interest which is a paramount concern to the United States of America."
 
Waxa kale oo tusaale kuugu filan dalka la yidhaahdo Taiwan oo aan ilaa hada aduunka laga aqoonsanayn, isla markaasna ay ku dhici waayeen dawlado waaweyn oo ay xidhiidh guud iyo mid gaar ahaaneedba leeyihiin oo ay ka mid yihiin sida maraykanka iyo yurub oo dhan in ay aqoonsadaan Taiwan. ku darso Taiwan waxay ka mid tahay wadamada ugu dhaqaalaha badan qaaradan eeshiya (Asia), waxaany soo galaan kaalinta todobaad marka laga hadlaayo horumarka dhaqaalaha aduunka ee wadan kasta lagu qiimeeyo ee loo yaqaano (GDP) Gross Domestic Product. Yet again, it´s quite obvious that Taiwan is indeed one of the most leading Asian economies. Waxay hadaba Taiwan ay xidhiidh fiican la leedahay dawlado waaweyn oo maraykanku ugu horeeyo, waxa dawlada maraykanku ay Taiwan ka iibisaa hubka ugu casrisan ee maanta aduunka ka jira. kharashka hubkaas ku baxaa waxa lagu qiyaasaa Billions and Billions of US dollars. Sidaas oo ay tahay hadana maraykanku kuma dhaco in uu Taiwan ictiraafo in ay noqoto dal madax banaan, sababtoo ah dalka shiinaha ayaa aaminsan oo ilaa hada sheegta in ay Taiwan tahay gobol ka mid ah dalweynaha shiinaha (China) arintaas oo ilaa hada khilaafkeedu taagan yahay, xalna aan loo helin.
 
Hadaba siday doontaba ha ahaate, walow aan arimo dhawr ah aan maqaalkaygan ku taab taabtay, hadaba waxaan maqaalkaygan aan ku soo koobayaa waxa haboon in calanka Somaliland laga tirtiro kalmadan tawxiidka ah. Dabcan dad muslim ah 100% waynu nahay oo taas shaki kuma jiro laakiin kalmadan danbigeeda iyo culayskeeda ayaa haboon in aynaan noqon islaantii xaabada la kici kari wayday ee inta kalana dusha sii saaratay.  Waxaan rajaynayaa oo aan si sharaf leh uga codsanayaa madaxweynaha jamhuuriyada Somaliland His Excellency Mujaahid Ahmed Mohamed Mohamoud in uu dawladiisa soo hor dhigo ka doodista arintan ku saabsan ka tirtirista kalmada tawxiidka ah ee ku xardhan calanka Somaliland, oo uu iskugu yeedho dhamaan xisbiyada qaran iyo dhamaan golaha sharci dejinta iyo dabcan culumada ugu waaweyn ee dalka Somaliland, si arintan dood iyo wada tashi  looga yeesho.        
 
Hadaba fadlan hoos ka akhriso inta wadan ee muslim ah ee aduunka ka jirta iyo calamadooda oo aanay mid ka midana kalmadan tawxiidki ku qornayn calamadooda marka laga reebo dalkaas Saudi Arabia oo isagu ah xaramkii iyo dhulkii barakaysnaa laakiin dawladaasi aanay ahayn mid barakaysan.
