The Burkinabe flag consists of two horizontal red and green stripes with a five-pointed yellow star in the centre. It is one of the symbols of Burkina Fasso, which literally means "Country of honest men" in Moré and Dioula, the national languages of the country.

Burkina Faso is a West African country landlocked between Mali, Niger, Benin, Togo, Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire. It is a member of ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States). Being a former colonized country, it obtained its independence from France in August 1960, as did Niger, Côte d'Ivoire, Chad, the Central African Republic, Congo and Gabon.

Among its national emblems are the motto "Unity, progress, justice", the national anthem "Ditanye" (the anthem of victory) and the flag of Burkina Faso, which is both the national flag and the maritime flag of the country.

Meaning of Burkinabe colours

The significance of the green-yellow-red colours of the flag and star symbol reflects the country's geography and hopeful values. These are also the pan-African colours that the major of the former African states will later display on their national flags.

Thus, the red strip on the upper part of the desert plains in the north of the country while the green horizontal strip on the lower part refers to the green and agrarian lands of southern Burkina Faso. The yellow star represents the capital of Ouagadougou and its strong influence, but also the light that guides the Burkinabe people.
