HISTORY ABOUT BURUNDI FLAG
 The Burundi flag was officially adopted on June 28, 1967. The
three stars represent the three ethnic groups that live in the
country; the Hutu, Tutsi and the Twa. The red in the flag stands
for the independence struggle, the green for hope and the white
for peace.
THE MEANING OF THE FLAG
The flag is divided into four
parts by a white saltire. The upper and lower parts are red in color,
while the left and right ones are green in color. White color of the
saltire represents peace, green represents the nation's hopes placed on
future development and red symbolizes the suffering of the nation
during its freedom struggle.[2] The three stars in triangular configuration
stand for the three major ethnic groups of Burundi: the Hutu, the Twa
and the Tutsi.[2] The three stars also stand for the three elements of the national motto: Unité,
Travail, Progrès ("Unity, Work and Progress"), which can be seen on the
coat of arms of Burundi.[3] They also represent the loyalty that the citizens of the nations have
pledged to their God, king and country.[2]
