The national flag of Djibouti is a horizontal flag bicolour with equal bands of light blue and light green, with a white, equilateral triangle at the hoist. In the centre of the triangle is a red star. The flag combines the basic layout and colours from the flag of the Front de Libération de la Côte des Somalis. The light blue represents the sky and the sea, as well as the Somalis, green represents the everlasting green of the earth, as well as the Afars, white represents the colour of peace and the five-pointed red star represents unity, the blood shed by the martyrs of independence, as well as Djibouti being one of the five regions inhabited by the Somali people.
