Mauritius

About the flag

The flag displayed is that of Mauritius, a beautiful island nation located in the Indian Ocean. This flag features four horizontal stripes of red, blue, yellow, and green. Each color holds significant meaning: red symbolizes the struggles for freedom, blue represents the Indian Ocean, yellow signifies the island's bright future, and green stands for the lush vegetation of the land. Mauritius has a rich cultural tapestry, influenced by African, Asian, and European heritage, reflecting its vibrant history of colonization and migration. Remembering the flag's colors in their order—red at the top and green at the bottom—can help you easily distinguish it from the flags of Algeria, Burundi, and Ethiopia, which have different color schemes and symbols.
