Yemen

About the flag

Yemen is correct. Its flag is the plain Pan-Arab tricolor adopted in 1990 when North and South Yemen unified. The colors carry common Arab symbolism: red for struggle/revolution, white for hope and a bright future, and black for a difficult past. A quick identifier: unlike lookalikes, Yemen’s has no emblem or stars (Egypt has an eagle, Syria two stars, Iraq script). Context tip: Yemen sits at the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula and was a historic hub of the coffee trade—“mocha” takes its name from the Yemeni port of Mokha.
