Fiiri Mapka Cusub oo ay qorsheeyeen Dawlada Geedi iyo Tan Melez  

Dalka Ethiopia ayaa waxaa oo sanadkii 1906 waxaa uu sheegay in somalia aysan jirin wax dhul somaliyeed ah oo lagu daro dalka Ethiopia balse EEBE janadii ha geeye Sheikh Xasan Barsame ayaa sanadkaasi ka hor arinta ka xijaabtay in aysan dhihin 1905 waxaa uu dagaal kala hortagtay balse nasiib xumo gobolka Somali Galbeed ayaa xiligaasi gacanta u gashay tan iyo xiligaasi Ethipoa waxay mar u han qal taagaysay in somalia ay gacanta ku dhigaan iyadoo dalkeeda ku abuurtay kooxo qaran diid ahaa oo iyagu dumiyay dawladii dalka somalia sanadkii 1991 ka dib markii ay taageero ka heleen cadawga umadda somaliyeed ee Ethiopia .

Dalka Somalia Iyo Ethiopia ayaa waxaa dhex maray dagaalo aad u badan marka laga soo bilaabo Al mujaahid Axmed Guray 1760kii sida qiyaasto tahay dagaalkaasi oo ahaa mid ku salaysnaa '' Dagaal saliibaynta '' balse maanta saliibaynta ama gaalaynta iyo waliba gumaysi ayay wadaan dagaalkaasi ayaa socday sida ay sheegaan taariikhyahanada mudu ku dhaw 500 sano oo lamo ilaabaan u ah umadda somaliyeed.

iyo waliba dagaalkii waynaa ee Somali Galbeed lagu doonayay in somalia lagu soo daro iyadoo casharo lama ilaabaan ah ay ciidankii xooga dalka somaliyeed ay siiyeen kuwii dalka Ethiopia ee xiligaasi  halkaan ka daawo Film 06/jul/video.html waxayna gacata ku dhigeen inta badan dalka Ethiopia.

Melez Sanawi ayaa markii dagaalkii soomaliga lagu qabsayay ee bilawday 19 December 2006  waxaa uu yiri '' waxaanu nahay rogaal cilis ama difaac oo dalkeena ayaan difaacaynaa'' balse xogayntii maxaakinta islaamiga somaliyeed Suulay ayaa yiri '' ma taqanaan rogaal ciliska ama difaaca waxaa loola jeedaa dagaalkii 1977 aan ku jabinay Ethiopa in ay naga aar goostaan oo ay wali qalibga ku hayaan, balse hadii aan fiiriyo labada hadal waa laba aad run u ah waxaase jira in dagaalkaasi oo shalay ahaa oo kii ka horeeyay ee Axmed Guray ay wali xasuustaan marka oo dabka ka iyo qiica ku raadsan jiray taas oo ilaa maata dalka Ethiopia ka dhigtay in heliba isagoo cayriin ah la cuno .

Xasidnimadaa is biirsatay oo ku biirowday bartamaha dalkooda ayaa maanta rag somali sheeganaya ay somalia soo galiyeen dalkeenii Ethiopiankaasi sidaas aaminsan iyadoo aysan ka marnayn meesha Dagaal Diimeed maadaama ay Ethiopia ay tahay 80% dad muslimiin ah baa 20% oo Masiixiyiin ah ay doonayaan in Ethoipia islaamkeeda oo ay awal curyaamiyeen ay doonayaan in ay maadana ku daraanm kii somalia oo ay bil ficilan ku dureen cirbad sun ah oo aan ogayn xili ay ka soo kacayaan ilaa EEBE gacan ka siiyo.

Dhulka Ethiopia ma leh wax bad ah oo ay uga soo dagaan waxyaalaha Daruuriga ah ee loo baahan yahay basle dalka somalia ayaa ah mid ay ku xeeran tahay bad waynta Hindiya iyo walia tan gacanta Cadmeed '' Kismayo Marka Muqdisho Xarardheere Hobyo Gara-cad Eyl Qandala Boosaaso Barbara Saylac '' iyo kuwa kale oo badan ayaa somalia ku yaal oo xeebo ah taasi way rumaysna wayday Ethiopia iyadoo gacan ka hayslo Rag ay saaxiibo yihiin ayay ku soo qamaamtay xeebahaasi somalia ku yaal

 Dib u milicsi yar somalia Iyo Ethoipia waxii dhex maray

2-Dagaalkii 1964tii iyo waxay Xabashi u socotay; Burburinta qaranimada Soomaali oo markaasi jiray oo kalia 4 sano .

3-Dagaalkii 1977dii ee la doonayay in la soo celiyo dhulka somaliyeed ee gacanta gumaystuhu u galiyay

4-1980kii ayay qabsadeen meelo ka tirsan Mudug iyo Galguduud oo ay duqeeyen

5- 1996 hub iskugu dhiibtay qabiilada somaliyeed ee dagaalayay si ay isku cirib tiraan oo aysan mid uga harin

6-  Deceber Somalia oo diyaaradu lagu duqeeyay lana qabsaday

Green-yellow-red tricolour with emblem in the middle. The emblem (also used as the coat of arms) is light blue disk, of diameter (approximatley?) half the hoist inscribed with yellow pentagram symbol. The green seems to be rather dark aproximated in Album 2000 [pay00] as Pantone 349c.

Probably the most widespread Ethiopina flag in use no matter what the central symbol was official at the given time, is the plain tricolour. I have never seen any supporter waving a flag with the emblem. I first looked after some political meaning in this flag, but this was erroneous. My "definitive" interpretation is that the flag with emblem is complicate and expensive to manufacture, whereas everyone is able to identify correctly a "plain" Ethiopian flag. By the way, the "plain" flag seems to be usually 2:3 in proportion and not 1:2. I would say that the "plain" flag is a kind of non-official "civil" flag.
Ivan Sache, 18 July 2000

For example, the BBC web pages included [in March 2001] paper about withdrawal of the Ethiopian troops from a buffer zone between Ethiopia and Eritrea. Interestingly, there are two color photos showing the Ethiopian flags without emblems, both apparently 1:2.

I visited Ethiopia a few months ago (a great country to visit despite the poverity), and I can confirm that the vast majority of national flags there are flown without the blue disk and star in the middle. However, the blue disk and star appears on many government documents including my visa, declaration forms, exchange forms, etc. The flag with the disk and star can be seen at the airport, government offices, and almost nowhere else. The Ethiopians are quite fond of their flag and it, as well as paintings of it, are frequently seen but without the disk and star.
Just thought you might be interested in these observations.

The green-yellow-red flag appeared in 1897. It was the flag of Ethiopia that became the basis for the panafrican colours. Before the end of the Ethiopian Empire the colours were interpreted as: red for power and faith; yellow for church, peace, natural wealth and love; and green for land and hope. The colours were also interpreted as having a connection to the Holy Trinity, and the three main provinces. At first the flag was used as three separate whimps, and arranged in rectangular shape on 6 October 1897, with red at the top. At some point the order of colours was changed.
Zeljko Heimer, 14 December 1995

From http://www.nicom.com/~ethiopia/ogv.htm:

The national flag symbolizes the honor and beauty of the Ethiopian nation: green represents the fertility of the country, yellow the religious freedom found there, and red the lives sacrificed in the protection of national integrity.

Recently, the Council of Peoples' Representatives endorsed the proclamation of a new emblem on the national flag. The new emblem will have a radiant star with equidistant rays to show the equality of all ethnic groups as well as creed and gender equity. The shining rays from the star testify to a bright future for Ethiopia, and surrounding the emblem will be a blue background to denote peace and democracy in Ethiopia

From a website no longer active:

According to the Flag and Emblem proclamation colours and shape of the flag is:

The Flag shall have the colours: green at the top, yellow at the middle and red at the bottom.
The colours shall be bright and basic.
The colours shall be structured horizontally and be of the same size. The length of the Flag shall be twice its width.
The Emblem shall be a blue circle with depictions:
a) straight and equal lines of yellow that come from all directions and join each other;
b) a star formed by the straight and equal lines;
c) yellow rays radiating from the joints of the straight and equal lines.

Regarding the order of the colours, as noted elsewhere, the original 1897 flag was flown with red at the top. It was explained to me that the flag was still traditionally flown "upside-down" with red at the top when the country was at war, though (fortunately!) I never witnessed this myself.

Article from 1994 Draft Constitution

Draft constitution of 8 December 1994

This flag appeared on the most common postage stamps even for years after the overthrow of the socialist government in 1991. The central device is the emblem of the "Peoples Democratic Republic of Ethiopia" as the country was called at the time. The five pointed star and rays over a cogwheel is surrounded by a wreath of green leaves.

Flag used by Ethiopia in 1987-1991. In year 1987 through a referendum, Ethiopia becomes in a Democratic People's Republic, Meghistu is confirmed in the presidency and the country is administratively divided into 24 administrative regions and 5 autonomous regions: Eritrea, Assab, Ogaden, Tigre, and Dire-Daua. (Source: "Guía Mundial 1992", Abril Cinco ed. Colombia 1992).
This flag was flown also in the Barcelona 1992 Olympics.
The shield is circular in shape. It is blue bearing (according to William Crampton) the "obelisk of Axum" (a former Kingdom settled in the region of Tigre), a cogwheel, a red ribbon depicting a golden lion's head, an spear and a scepter, a yellow star on red and a the country's new name (?) at the top in Amharic characters.

As I've seen the original flag during Mengistu's official visit to Prague (1988?), I believe that the Aksum monument should have been brown - and also the cogwheel coloration looks a little bit unfamiliar.
Jan Zrzavy, 15 December 2002

Source were Encyclopaedia britannica, and an engraved plate (at the time) at the Ethiopian consul office to Mexico. Currently the engraved plate there is like the emblem in the present-day flag.
