The flag of Somaliland is used in Somaliland, a self-declared republic that is internationally recognized as an autonomous region of Somalia. Having established its own local government in 1991, the region's self-declared independence remains unrecognized by any country or international organization.〔(The Signs Say Somaliland, but the World Says Somalia )〕〔(UN in Action: Reforming Somaliland's Judiciary )〕 It contains the Pan-Arab colors of green, black, white and red. On the green stripe, there is the Sunni Shahada in white script, similar to that of the Saudi Arabian flag. The Constitution of Somaliland, as approved on May 31, 2001, by referendum: Article 7: The Flag, the Emblem and the National Anthem 1. The flag of the Republic of Somaliland shall consist of three horizontal, parallel and equal sections, the top section, which is coloured green and has inscribed in its midst in white in Arabic language ''La Ilaha Ill-Allah, Muhammadan Rasulullah'' ( لا إله إلاَّ الله محمد رسول الله, There is no god except for God, and Muhammad is the messenger of God); the middle section is white and has at its centre a black star; and the bottom section is coloured red. ==Rules for the usage of the flag== The government set out principles on how to use the flag. It should be treated with respect and used very carefully and sensitivity. Because the Shahada has huge importance in Islam, the first pillar of Islam ''etc'', regulations have specially been made on the usage of the flag. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Flag of Somaliland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
