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 theIslamic Courts Unionand then used a black flag with Arabic inscription (perhaps theShahada).

In 2007, thanks to Ethiopian military intervention, the region fell in hand ofTransitional 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 theShahada with a sword below.

TheJubaland Initiative took partial control of the region 2010. Its flag was similar to that used by the Juba Valley Alliance in 2006, but withShahada 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 ofthis 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 ofAzania. 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 withEthiopia andKenya. 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 withKenya.

According toWikipedia, those factions loyal to Siad Barre, especially amongst his own Marehanclan, formed the Somali National Front (SNF) after he was deposed from power, were based primarily in this region, where they withdrewfollowing the end of the civil war. Around Kismayo there wasfighting between the fleeing Darood sub-clans from Mogadishu for thecontrol of the city, the northern Harti clans led by Mohamed HersiMorgan and his SPM militia, and the Marehan clans led by AhmedWarsame and his SNF militia. SPM-Harti withdrew from the city thefollowing the loss of the war. The state of Jubaland was establishedon 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 yearbefore being driven out by the several factions of the Somali NationalFront, forming a new united regime over all of Jubaland known as the Juba Valley Alliance on 11 June 1999. The JVA chose to join theTransitional National Government (TNG) in 18 June 2001, but in January2006 they changed their minds and formed their own autonomous state ofJubaland. This state lasted less than a year as theUnion of IslamicCourts brought over to their side numerous factions of the JVA andtook over Kismayo without firing a shot on 24 September 2006.

The following was submitted towww.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.

image byIvan 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 ofSomalia, 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.

image byCai 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 autonomousPuntland andSomaliland regions in the northern part of the country. Kenya isreportedly interested in helping develop the new regionaladministration so as to establish a buffer zone between it and theIslamist insurgency in southern Somalia. However, neighboringEthiopiais reportedly unhappy about the Jubaland Initiative and Kenya'sinvolvement in it, as it fears that the project will have an effect onits own military struggle against rebels in the Somali-inhabitedOgaden region, who seek independence.
