Malawi

About the flag

The flag displayed is the national flag of Malawi, which features three horizontal stripes of black, red, and green, with a rising sun at the center. The black stripe represents the people of Africa, red symbolizes the struggle for independence, and green stands for the country's natural resources. The sun rising over the horizon signifies hope and a bright future. Malawi, located in southeast Africa, is known as "The Warm Heart of Africa," which reflects the friendliness of its people. The flag was adopted in 1964 when Malawi gained independence from British colonial rule. To remember this flag, note its unique sun emblem—unlike many other flags, the rising sun prominently symbolizes a new beginning and optimism for the nation.
