Meaning & history of the Kenya flag

Kenya's flag has black, red and green horizontal bands separated by thin white stripes, with a red-white Maasai shield and crossed spears centred. Black represents the people, red the blood shed for independence, green the land and agriculture, and white peace. The shield and spears symbolise the defence of freedom and all it represents.
