The flag of Burundi features a white saltire that divides the field into alternating red and green sections with a white disk at the center containing three red stars outlined in green.
The green represents hope, the white represents peace, and the red represents those who fell in the struggle for independence.
The three stars represent the three main ethnic groups and the three parts of the national motto: "Unity, Work, Progress." The flag is a representation of the country's history, culture, and values, reminding us of the nation's tumultuous yet inspiring past.
