Sierra Leone

About the flag

Sierra Leone’s flag has three horizontal stripes—green, white, and blue—so Sierra Leone is the correct answer. It’s distinct from Mali’s vertical green‑yellow‑red, Kenya’s black‑red‑green with a Maasai shield, and DR Congo’s sky‑blue with a red diagonal stripe and yellow star. The colors reflect the country: green for its forested hills and agriculture, white for unity and justice, and blue for the Atlantic Ocean and Freetown’s famous natural harbor, founded in the 1790s as a home for freed enslaved people. Memory tip: think “Sea”-rra Leone—blue sea at the bottom, green mountains above, with white peace and justice in between.
