In days of old, militaries would use banners and flags for purposes of identification and signaling. In 2011, banners and flags are used not by militaries alone, but by countries, organizations, etc.! For example, schools use school banners and business custom made cooperation type flags. Wherever you go, flags are attached to objects of all kinds, including residential flagpoles, to help put respective business, organizations, etc. on the map!
The Libyan flag is the only national flag in the world that displays a color only. The flag displays the green color and is manufactured in a proportion of 1:2. No other detail is displayed on this very unique and fascinating "historical" flag.
Going back even further than 1977, the flag of that time was colored red, black and green, and showed a crescent with a star in the center part. Following the Libyan revolution, which started in '69, the national changed. The so called Arab Liberation flag, a tricolor type flag, was attached to steel and aluminum flag poles, the colors being red, white and black. The current national flag was officially adopted in '77, soon after the country left the Federation of Arab Republics. It is said that the green color represents the people's commitment to the religion of Islam.
Fascinatingly, Libya has been subject to mass protests by its inhabitants. These anti-government protests started in February of 2011. Some people have boldly claimed that al-Gaddafi has left the Libya and has fled to the country of Venezuela. However, the government of Venezuela denies this claim. The unrest follows similar events that happened in neighboring countries, including Egypt.
Back in 1973, when Libya joined the Federation of Arab Republics, the then national flag featured or displayed a gold colored hawk, holding a scroll with the respective Arabic name of the Federation. This bird was the totem of the Quraish tribe to which the Prophet Muhammad belonged. Today, the green colored Libya flag is displayed from residential flag poles of all kinds, including residential flagpoles.
