Although it's undeniably true that Minnesota has a large and proud Somalian community, there are some who have suggested that community is operating in Minnesota in a sinister way. One particular bugaboo for Conservative critics of the Somali community in Minnesota, and the state's embrace of those immigrants, has to do with the changing of the Minnesota state flag.
The state adopted a new state flag in 2024, and some think that state flag resembles the state flag of Somalia. Now, many want to know whether that's actually the case. Here's what we know.
The new Minnesota flag vs. the Somalia flag: How close are they?
On the surface, the flags of Somalia and Minnesota seem to have some things in common. For one, both of them feature some prominent light blue, as well as a white star. That's where the similarities between the two flags end, though. The Somalia flag is a single five-pointed star on a light blue background, while Minnesota's state flag features a dark blue shape that resembles Minnesota, as well as a light blue shape that's distinct from the color of the Somalia flag.
What's more, while both feature white stars, Minnesota's stage flag features an eight-point star instead of a five-point one, and the star is on the dark blue instead of the light blue.
While some on the right have used the similarities between the two flags to suggest that something sinister is happening in Minnesota, the flag was not actually adopted because of the Somali community in Minnesota.

I’ve been saying since the first time I saw it that it looked like one of the African flags I saw in “Wild Geese.”
Why not? The Somalis are the most aggressive in asserting that Minnesota is theirs. The good folks of Minnesota, the ones that were born there, are much too nice to dispute those claims.
Minnesota nice.
And some people think the Texas flag looks like the Chilean flag.
“On the surface, the flags of Somalia and Minnesota seem to have some things in common.”
No! They have everything in common. And timing is everything. Somalians have already laid claim to MN. Obviously the next move is to claim with a flag

The Bonny Blue Flag that bears a single star?

Who designed it and why was it changed?
I walked into the “X Files” movie late and saw the Lone Star flag flying and thought, “Hey, they went to Chile!?”
Minnesota stupid.
“Some People Think Minnesota’s New Flag Looks Like the Flag of Somalia”. Looks like toilet paper to me, is that Versace? No, it’s Charmin.
Next up: name change.
Welcome to Somalisota.
Not to be confused with Sarasota or Saratoga or Zaragoza.
Well, they still have time to change it to match.
Why would they want that as a state flag? It is hideous.
Capitulation to Islamic conquest. Plain and simple.
Well, the flag is only part Somali now. Soon, the Somali’s will be doing the SKOL cheer.
