Jubaland
image by Ivan Sarajcic, 06 Mar 2008
Jubaland fell under control of Somali warlord Mohamed Said Hersi “Morgan” and
proclaimed an independent republic, which was unrecognized). In 1999, the Juba Valley
Alliance, overthrew Morgan and in the 2001 the Jubaland republic ceased to
exist following a treaty with the Somali provisional government. The
flag of the Jubaland republic was two vertical stripes of red and green with a
white five pointed star in the centre.
The Juba Valley Alliance flew the
Somali national flag.
The proposed flag (green, red and
green vertical stripes) was not adopted. In 2006, several other proposals
were put forward (see below).

In 2006, the Juba Valley Alliance proclaimed the state of Jubaland
with a flag divided vertically blue (one third) and green (two thirds) with a
five pointed white star in center. The state later fell under the control
of the Islamic Courts Union and then used a black flag with Arabic inscription
(perhaps the Shahada).
In 2007, thanks to Ethiopian military
intervention, the region fell in hand of Transitional
Government and used a blue flag with a white star in center. In 2008 three
factions had disputed control over the region and in 2009 it fell mainly under control of al-Shabab,
using a white flag with
black star and the Shahada with a sword below.
The
Jubaland Initiative took partial control of the region 2010. Its flag was
similar to that used by the Juba Valley Alliance in 2006, but with Shahada
in the upper part of green stripe (see below).

Jubaland was established on 19 December 2010 in Minnesota,
USA. Its goal was to govern Bay, Bakool, Lower Jubba, Gedo and Middle Jubba
regions. Mohamed Rashid Haji Ali was the president of
this administration. It used a flag of three horizontal stripes of yellow,
red, green separated by a white fimbriation with a blue triangle at hoist
containing with a white five pointed star slightly rotated towards the hoist
(top left).
Jubaland was re-established in January 2012 is considered a rival
regional to the state of Azania. Jubbaland
desires to rule Lower Jubba, Gedo and Middle Jubba. Mohamed Farah Du'aaleh is
the president, but is not as well known as Mohamed Abdi Gandhi, the leader of
Azania, who has links with Ethiopia and
Kenya. Jubbaland has no direct contact with these countries who support
pro-government militias including the ASWJ and Ras Kamboni fighting against
al-Shabaab in lower Jubba and Middle Jubba. Unlike Azania, Jubbaland has the
support of the local people in the regions who are reportedly suspicious of
Azania's links with Kenya.

According to Wikipedia, those factions loyal to Siad Barre, especially amongst his own Marehan
clan, formed the Somali National Front (SNF) after he was deposed from power,
were based primarily in this region, where they withdrew
following the end of the civil war. Around Kismayo there was
fighting between the fleeing Darood sub-clans from Mogadishu for the
control of the city, the northern Harti clans led by Mohamed Hersi
Morgan and his SPM militia, and the Marehan clans led by Ahmed
Warsame and his SNF militia. SPM-Harti withdrew from the city the
following the loss of the war. The state of Jubaland was established
on 03 September 1998 using flag divided vertically blue and dark green with a
white five pointed star on the blue stripe. This government survived less than a year
before being driven out by the several factions of the Somali National
Front, forming a new united regime over all of Jubaland known as the Juba Valley
Alliance on 11 June 1999. The JVA chose to join the
Transitional National Government (TNG) in 18 June 2001, but in January
2006 they changed their minds and formed their own autonomous state of
Jubaland. This state lasted less than a year as the Union of Islamic
Courts brought over to their side numerous factions of the JVA and
took over Kismayo without firing a shot on 24 September 2006.

. This is considered a rival region to the state of
Azania which claiming Lower Jubba, Gedo and Middle Jubba.
Mohamed Farah Du'aaleh is the president. Unlike Azania, Jubbaland has the
support of the local people in the regions who are reportedly suspicious of
Azania's links with Kenya.

Jaume Ollé, 16 October 2014
On the 28 February 2013, more than 500 delegates convened in Kismayo, Lower Juba
region to attend the opening of a conference which would discuss and plan the
proposed formation of Jubaland, also known as Jubaland (Somali: Jubbaland), the
Juba Valley (Somali: Dooxada Jubba) or Azania (Somali: Azaaniya). This is
an autonomous region in southern Somalia. Its eastern
border lies 40–60 km east of the Jubba River and stretches from Gedo to the
Indian Ocean, while its western side flanks the North Eastern Province of
Kenya.

The following was submitted to www.flagid.org - website that provides for the
registration of flags.
Vertical Tricolor Flag: Green; Red; Green. I kindly request you to include this
flag of the newly established Provincial Regional Autonomy of Somalia (State under Federal Republic of Somalia). Authorities from the three Regions of Southern Somalia,
namely the Gedo Region, Lower Jubba Region, and the Middle Jubba Region are working
towards the unification of these Regions to make one unified Provincial Regional Authority. The Authority
has already been named Jubaland and there is a competition to choose a flag.
I submit the following design for a flag of Jubaland - a vertical tricolour of
green, red and green.
Ahmed Sh. Abdi Dahir, 04 Mar 2008
I am not familiar with situation in Somalia, so I checked Somali pages
on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jubaland)
which shows a vertical red and green bicolour with white star. I am not sure
what is the status of the flag.

"Independent" Jubaland (1998 - 2001)
image
by Ivan Sarajcic, 06 Mar 2008
Among the flags of short-living separatist entities in Somalia should be
added that of Jubaland. This is territory in the south of
Somalia, along
Juba (Giubbe) river, with area about 80 000 km2 and more than one million
inhabitants. The capital is Chisimaio. Jubaland was a part of
British East Africa until 1925 when it was ceded to Italy as a compensation for
its help in World War I and subsequently Jubaland became a part of Italian
Somalia. In 1998, one of the Somali warlords, Mohamed Said Hersi Morgan, gained
control over Jubaland and proclaimed an independent republic This was not
recognized by anybody. The flag chosen to represent the independent state was
divided vertically into red and green with a white five-pointed star, in the
same pattern as on the Somali national flag, in center. In 1999, the Juba Valley
Alliance, led by Ahmed Warsame, overthrew Morgan and in the 2001 the Jubaland
republic ceased to exist following a treaty with the Somali provisional
government. (Source:

The region has been the site of numerous battles in the ongoing Somali Civil
War and was briefly declared independent in 1998-1999. As of early 2008, the
region is under nominal control of the Somali Transitional Federal Government.

Jubaland Initiative (2010)
image by Cai Zhenyuan, 13 Mar 2011
In 2010, residents of Somalia's Juba region established a new secular
regional administration. This Jubaland Initiative was created to bring
about local stability, in the model of the autonomous mous Puntland and
Somaliland regions in the northern part of the country.
Kenya is
reportedly interested in helping develop the new regional
administration so as to establish a buffer zone between it and the
Islamist insurgency in southern Somalia. However, neighboring Ethiopia
is reportedly unhappy about the Jubaland Initiative and Kenya's
involvement in it, as it fears that the project will have an effect on
its own military struggle against rebels in the Somali-inhabited
Ogaden region, who seek independence.
