Flag of Libya between 1977 and 2011 available in 100% Polyester fabric and various measures from 060X100 to 150x300. Particularly suitable for outdoor use and manufactured in European union. Flag of the Great Socialist Popular Libyan Arab Jamahiriya (1977-2011) Origin :   The origin of the Libyan flag , goes back to 1951, when the country proclaimed its independence. This badge was in force until 1969, before being recovered again in 2011. In between, the country, under the mandate of Muammar Gaddafi, opted for other colors, inspired by the Egyptian flag.   History : Since Libya obtained independence from Italy, in the middle of the 20th century, it has had a total of four flags, a faithful reflection of the political instability that settled in this Middle East nation. It went from the three horizontal stripes of red, black and green with the half moon and star (Islamist symbol) to one entirely green, just the color that was suppressed in the other two intermediate insignia, for the benefit of white (which it referred to the union with Egypt and Syria in the 70s, after the pan-Arabist alliance against Israel in the conflicts of the Middle East). In 2011, after being approved by the National Transitional Council, the flag of Libya returned to recover the colors and the symbolism of its first badge.     Meaning : As you can see in our flagship store, the one in Libya has a wider central strip than the other two, also in a horizontal layout. This is black and contains a waning half moon and a star, alluding to Venus, white. The other two stripes (red and green), together with the black color, symbolize the three historical provinces of the country: Tripolitania, Fezzan and Cyrenaica.

“Late in the evening of April 16, 2024, surrounded by his family and wife of sixty-five years, Adele, former Governor Bob Graham passed away at the age of 87.
