Meaning & history of the Tanzania flag

Tanzania's flag is divided by a black diagonal band, edged in gold, running from lower hoist to upper fly, between a green upper triangle and a blue lower triangle. Green represents the land and agriculture, blue the lakes, rivers and Indian Ocean, black the people, and the gold fimbriations the country's rich mineral deposits. It combines the flags of Tanganyika and Zanzibar.
