Ethiopia’s
national flag is composed of three horizontal bands. These bands are in the
colours green, yellow and red, from top to bottom. The centre of the flag
features a yellow star and sun rays surrounded by a blue circle. The green
stripe symbolises the fertility of the land and the yellow represents hope. The
red band along the bottom of the flag is symbolistic of strength and sacrifice
for the nation of Ethiopia. The central blue disc is representative of peace
and the yellow star and rays inside are symbolistic of the diversity within
Ethiopia and the unity held between its people.
