Meaning & history of the Uganda flag

Uganda's flag has six horizontal bands of black, yellow and red, repeated, with a white disc at the centre bearing a grey crowned crane facing the hoist. Black represents the African people, yellow the sunshine and vitality, and red brotherhood. The grey crowned crane, the national bird, was a colonial-era military emblem, its raised leg suggesting forward movement.
