About the flag

The flag depicted is Rwanda's national flag, which features three horizontal stripes of blue, yellow, and green, with a yellow sun with 24 rays in the upper right corner. Blue represents peace and happiness, yellow symbolizes economic development, and green stands for hope and the country's lush landscape. The sun reflects Rwanda's ambitions to shine as a beacon of progress and positivity. Rwanda's flag was adopted in 2001, post-genocide, as part of the nation’s efforts to promote unity and rebuild its identity. This backdrop adds depth to the flag’s symbolism, making it a powerful representation of resilience and renewal. To remember the flag, think of the vibrant colors that mirror Rwanda's commitment to peace and development, reinforcing the country's journey towards a brighter future.
