The blue on Somalia's flag was influenced by the blue field of the United Nations flag. While the five points of the white star represent the five countries in which the Somalis lived, British Somalia, Ethiopia, Kenya, Djibouti and the Italian colony of Somalia.

The blue background is modeled after the flag of the United Nations. The five points of the star in the center are said to represent the five regions that had major ethnic Somali populations at the time immediately before Somalia's independence in 1960: Italian Somaliland, British Somaliland, and the majority Somali areas of Djibouti, Ethiopia, and Kenya, respectively.
