Qolobaa Calankeed (Arabic: علم أي امة; English: “Every nation has its own flag”) is the national anthem of Somalia.
Overview[]
The lyrics and composer were by Abdullahi Qarshe.[1][2] It was adopted on 1 August 2012 with the passage of the Somali national constitution,[3] in which it is enshrined. It replaced "Soomaaliyeey toosoo" which had been in use since 2000. Soomaaliyeey toosoo is often still used as a de facto national anthem, though the official national anthem for Somalia is "Qoloba Calankeed".
