Meaning & history of the Syria flag
Syria's flag has traditionally used the Pan-Arab colours in red, white and black horizontal bands with green stars, though the design has shifted with the country's turbulent politics. Red has represented sacrifice and struggle, white peace, black the past, and the green stars Arab unity. Competing versions have been flown by the state and the opposition.
