Mali Flag

The flag of Mali is a simple vertical tricolor consisting of three equal stripes of green, yellow, and red from left to right. These colors are traditional Pan-African colors that symbolize the country's heritage and values. The green represents the fertility of the land and hope, yellow stands for purity and the wealth of the country, and red symbolizes the blood shed for independence and the courage of the people. The flag was officially adopted in 1961 shortly after Mali gained independence from France. Its design reflects Mali’s commitment to unity, freedom, and the rich cultural identity of its people within the African continent.
