Meaning & history of the Rwanda flag

Rwanda's flag has horizontal bands of blue, yellow and green, with a golden sun in the upper fly. Blue represents happiness and peace, yellow economic development and mineral wealth, and green prosperity, work and the country's resources. The sun symbolises enlightenment. Adopted in 2001, it deliberately replaced an earlier flag associated with the 1994 genocide.
