Meaning & history of the Zambia flag

Zambia's flag is green with three vertical stripes of red, black and orange in the lower fly and an orange eagle above them. Green represents the country's lush vegetation, red the struggle for freedom, black the people, and orange the mineral wealth, especially copper. The soaring African fish eagle symbolises the nation's ability to rise above its problems.
