Flag of Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe's flag features seven horizontal stripes of green, yellow, red, and black, arranged symmetrically around a central black stripe. A white triangle, edged in black, is located on the hoist side, bearing a red five-pointed star. On the star is a representation of the Zimbabwe Bird in yellow-orange.

Green represents the agriculture and natural resources of Zimbabwe. Yellow stands for the wealth of minerals. Red symbolizes the blood shed during the struggle for liberation. The black stripe represents the heritage and ethnicity of indigenous black Africans. The white triangle signifies peace, and the Zimbabwe Bird is a national emblem, representing the country's history and cultural heritage.

The flag of Zimbabwe was officially adopted on April 18, 1980, the country's Independence Day. It replaced the flag of Rhodesia, which had undergone several changes during the UDI (Unilateral Declaration of Independence) era. The design was finalized following Zimbabwe's transition to majority rule after the Lancaster House Agreement. No significant changes have been made to the flag since its adoption.
