About the flag
The gold olive wreath and branch recall the country’s earlier light blue flag of the 1950s, while the red, green and blue come from the liberation front’s banner.
How to spot it: A red triangle stretching from hoist to fly splits green (top) and blue (bottom), with a gold olive wreath on the red.
