National anthem of Somalia (1960–2000)

The Somali Republic was formed on 1 July 1960 following the union of the newly independent Trust Territory of Somalia (the former Italian Somaliland) and the State of Somaliland (the former British Somaliland). At this time a wordless and untitled piece by Italian composer Giuseppe Blanc was adopted as the national anthem.^[1]^[2] This anthem remained in use during the Somali Democratic Republic period between 1969–1991.^[3]
