Flag of Burundi

The flag of Burundi represents the Republic of Burundi in Central Africa. A white diagonal cross divides the field into alternating green and red areas, with three red stars arranged in a triangular pattern at the center. The stars symbolize the nation’s three major ethnic groups and stand for the principles of "Unity, Work, Progress." Green represents hope and growth, red recalls the blood shed in the struggle for independence, and white signifies peace. Adopted upon independence in 1962, its design has remained unchanged. The flag is widely displayed during official ceremonies, international sporting events, and cultural celebrations to express national identity.
