Somali Central state was established in
2011 and claims control over parts of Galgudud and Mudug regions and has links
with Himan and Heeb. The center of the regional
state is Abudwak and is dominated by the
Mareehan clan. It does not yield much political power and has been overshadowed
by disagreements with Ahlu Sunnah Wal Jaama (ASWJ), which is currently the
most powerful force in Abdudwak. Mohamed Hashi Abdi is the president. He was
arrested in Abdudwaq by ASWJ militia forces.

The cities claimed by the Somali Central State are Caabudwaaq (Abudwak), Dusa Mareb, Gelinsoor, etc.
deep in the Mudug and Galguduud regions near the Ethiopian border. I don't
think the 'SCS' has any control over these areas. Ahlu Sunna Waljama'a, a Sufi
militia, now controls much of the Galgaduud Region after defeating Al Shabaab in
a number of battles in early 2009.
Ben Cahoon, 16 Sep 2010
I have now found pictorial evidence of this flag. Local
online news reported a meeting in Nairobi and Sawiro held on 16 October
2010. Maybe this is the date of the formal establishment of the newly formed
Somali Central State.
As it can be expected in case of an African entity, there are many variations of
this flag. There are wider and narrower crescents being used, and variants
with and without inscriptions. Some images show white letters, the others have
black letters. But the motifs are the same (light blue field, white
crescent and star).
I have no information on existence of this state but it is mentioned in a number
of online news articles.

There are many variants of the flag but most bear the name of the State
written in in either black or white below the half moon and star. Some
flags don’t have the inscription as has been confirmed in some photographs. The
image above is from a photo which shows the half moon and star in a different
variation to that shown elsewhere.

The Dulbahante clan created an administration
claiming parts of the regions of Sool, Sanaag and Cayn. This was disputed
by Somaliland and Puntland. The state was called Sool, Sanaag and Cayn (SSC),
or alternatively Bartahamaland or Darwishland. Lately it is called
Khatumo.

Sool Guul state has a light blue flag with a central white five pointed star
slightly rotated towards the canton. The name of the state is written above
("SOOL") and below ("GUUL") the star in white capital letters.

The flag of South Somalia is based on the national flag of Somalia, having a
light blue field bearing a large white five pointed star in center. Within
the star is placed the arms of the old Somalia.

The State of Udubland was established on 17 February 2011 claiming both Lower
Shabelle and Jubaland.
The flag has three horizontal stripes of red, white and green, with the central stripe
being slightly wider than the others. In the central stripe is a blue triangle, with base at
the hoist, occupying
two thirds the length of the flag bearing a white five pointed star. Proportions of the flag in photos
varies, being
2:3, 3:5 and 1:2.

A further variant has been seen in photographs with the base of the triangle
extending to about one third of the length of the flag and the star rotated
towards the canton.

Waax Waadi State
image by Jaume Ollé, 02 Nov 2014
Waax Waadi State was established in Bristol (United Kingdom) in March 2011 to
govern Harardhere, Mareeg, El-Dher, Masagawa and Galad in
Galgaduud and some
zones in the Juba Valley.
The flag seems to be in proportion 5:9 with alternating five horizontal red
stripes and four horizontal white stripes (It appears as if the red stripes are
slightly narrower that the white ones). At the hoist a is light blue triangle
with a white five-pointed star.

There is another flag used by Waax Waadi. Flaggenkourier (No. 39, June
2014) describes it as the “effective” flag of the area while the flag above with
the horizontal red and white stripes is labeled as the flag by “Proclamation”.
The distinction between the two versions is unclear.
There is photographic evidence of this flag in both horizontal and vertical
versions. In Flaggenkourier (No. 39, June 2014) the horizontal version is
shown with the star rotated towards the hoist, although it is possible that the
flag in the source photo was displayed flag upside down.

Ximan and Xeeb (Himan and Heeb) Administration
image sent by Cai Zhenyuan, 14 Mar 2011
Himan and Heeb was established in 2008 and mainly covers parts of the Galguduud regions. One of the oldest of the regional states proclaimed in Somalia, it is dominated by the Saleeban sub clan of Habar Gidir.
Himan and Heeb was presumably a direct answer to the Sa’ad dominated
Galmdug
administration. The two homogenous clans of Galmudug and Himan and Heeb are the
most influential and had some permanent presence in Galkacyo and Addado, and a
technical presence beyond these two towns. Officials from both Galmudug
and Himan and Heeb made efforts to unite the two administrations but failed as
neither leader wanted to lose
his government position. Mohamed Abdulahi Ticey serves as president.
Cai Zhenyuan,16 Jul 2013
badweyn.com reports that the Himan and Heeb Administration was formed by the Elders and Elite of the Reer Haji Suleiman (Saleban) sub-clan of the Haber Gidr Hawiya Clan in 2008 at a ceremony held in the Administration capitol, Adado. Adado is located along the main tarmac road that connects northern Somalia with the south. The Administration covers approx 5,000 square miles and is bordered by Godin Labe Village in the South, Amaaro village (Harardhere district) in the South East, and Hobyo in the North East and Been-Dhaarte of Galmudug administration in the North and West.
Himan and Heeb is a local provisional government in the southern and central
regions of Somalia which uses the flag shown above.

For many years the Somalia flag was used and the current Arms have been in
existence since 2009. A new flag appeared about 2010 and has a light
blue field. At hoist is a red triangle, occupying 4/6 of the height and
1/3 of the length of the flag. In the center appears the State arms on which is
superimposed a white star. Within the red triangle is a four pointed white
star.
The arms are a great tree of green leaves with a light maroon trunk in dark sand
above a blue-white sea.

Xiriir is near Galkayo and is populated by the Marehan clan who have proclaimed a local federated state.
The flag used comprises three equal vertical stripes of green, light blue and
white. In the centre of the flag on the light blue stripe is a white five
pointed star. In the centre of white stripe is a yellow/gold camel facing
towards the fly.
