Flag of Sudan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The flag of Sudan (Arabic: علم السودان‎) was adopted on May 20, 1970, and consists of a red-white-black tricolor with a green triangle next to the hoist. Prior to the 1969 military coup of Gaafar Nimeiry, a blue-yellow-green tricolor design was used.

The current flag strongly resembles the flag of Libya from time period of 1969-1972, except for the green triangle.
