Meaning & history of the Ethiopia flag

Ethiopia's flag has green, yellow and red horizontal bands with a blue disc bearing a golden star and radiating rays. Its green-yellow-red are the original Pan-African colours, adopted by many nations in tribute to Ethiopia as a symbol of African independence. The star, added in 1996, represents unity and the bright future of the federation's peoples.
