Flag and symbols
A red flag has an inverted isosceles triangle spanning top to bottom, containing horizontal bands—black, light blue, and white—with a yellow rising sun in the black band. The sun means a new era's dawn; black means most people's African heritage, blue hope, and red people's dynamism. Its V means victory; yellow, blue, and white evoke sun, sea, and sand. The national symbol is fallow deer.
