Malawi flag

Horizontal stripes of black, red and green with a red rising sun of 31 rays in the black stripe. Black stands for the people of Africa, red for the blood of those who struggled for freedom and green for nature, while the rising sun marks the dawn of hope and freedom for Africa. A redesign used from 2010 was dropped in 2012, restoring this 1964 design.
