About the flag
The white star is meant as a guiding light of peace. It sits in a black triangle for the darkness to be overcome, over a yellow triangle recalling the traces of colonialism.
How to spot it: Red with a yellow triangle at the hoist, overlapped by a smaller black triangle holding a tilted white star.
