Sudan

About the flag

The flag of Sudan, represented here, features three horizontal stripes of red, white, and black, along with a green triangle on the hoist. The colors symbolize the blood shed for independence (red), peace (white), and the country's heritage (black), while the green represents Islam. Understanding these colors can help you remember Sudan’s identity and its place in African history. Sudan's flag was adopted in 1970 and reflects the nation's cultural ties and its struggles. As the largest country in Africa prior to South Sudan’s independence in 2011, Sudan has a rich tapestry of history, influenced by various civilizations. Associating the flag with these historical contexts makes it easier to remember, enhancing your global awareness and appreciation of national identities.
