Flag of Burkina Faso

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Flag ratio: 2:3

The flag of Burkina Faso is formed by two equal horizontal bands of red (top) and green with a yellow five-pointed star in the center. The colours are the popular Pan-African colours of Ethiopia; however, the red is also said to stand for the communist revolution, and the green for the richness of Burkina Faso. The yellow star represents the guiding light of the revolution [1].
