The coat of arms of Djibouti was introduced at the same time as the flag. It shows two arms (Afar and Issa) each with a shark knife, between them a lance and a round shield (defensive readiness). Above them the red star. The whole is surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. This stands for unity and victory.

Hinjinne u sara kaca

Calankaan harraad iyo

Haydaar u mudateen.

Hir cagaarku qariyayiyo

Habkay samadu tahayoo

Xiddig dhi igleh hoorshoo

Caddaan lagu hadheeyaay.

Maxaa haybad kugu yaal.
