The flag was adopted on 30 November 1967 when South Yemen declared independence from the United Kingdom until the Yemeni unification in 1990. It was used again for a few months in 1994 during the existence of the Democratic Republic of Yemen. Today, the South Yemeni flag is used by the separatist supporters from the Southern Movement and the Southern Transitional Council.
The flag of South Yemen, along with the flag of Sudan from 1956 to 1970, are the only two flags of Arab countries to feature the color blue.[citation needed]
