Botswana

About the flag

Botswana is correct. The flag’s colors symbolize the country’s values: blue for life‑giving rain in this arid land (Botswana’s national motto is “Pula!” meaning “rain” and also “blessing”), and the black-and-white central stripe standing for racial harmony and the stripes of the national animal, the zebra. Context tip: Botswana gained independence in 1966 and is known for political stability, prudent diamond management, and the wildlife-rich Okavango Delta. Memory aid: think “zebra stripes + Pula (rain) = Botswana.” This sets it apart from Tanzania (diagonal multicolor bands), DR Congo (star and red diagonal stripe), and Senegal (green-yellow-red with a green star).
