Flag of Burundi

Flag ratio: 2:3

The national flag of Burundi was adopted on June 28, 1967. The green color symbolizes hope, the white symbolises purity, and red the struggle for independence. The flag has a basic white saltaire that divides the field into four areas, two green, and two red. In the center is a circle that contains three stars which stand for the three major ethnic groups of Burundi: the Hutu, the Twa and the Tutsi. The three stars also stand for the three elements of the national motto: unity, work and progress.
