Ethiopia

The current flag of Ethiopia was adopted on February 6, 1996 and is a green-yellow-red tricolor with the national emblem (also used as the coat of arms) in the center. The emblem is intended to represent both the diversity and unity of the country. Blue represents peace, the star is said to represent diversity and unity, and the sun’s rays symbolize prosperity. The green recalls the land, yellow stands for peace and hope, and red is symbolic of strength.
