Maakhir also has a crest, the central shield of which forms the basis of the flag.  (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maakhir).

A flag based on the Somali national flag has also been shown as that of Maakhir State.  I'm attaching an image, using an educated guess that the star is regular and placed in the centered.
