Meaning & history of the Burundi flag

Burundi's flag is divided by a white saltire into red and green fields, with a central white disc bearing three red six-pointed stars. Red recalls the suffering of independence, green hope, and white peace. The three stars stand for the national motto 'Unité, Travail, Progrès' (Unity, Work, Progress) and for the country's three main ethnic groups.
