Kenya

The national flag of Kenya consists of horizontal black, red and green stripes separated by white fimbriations, with a traditional Maasai shield and crossed spears at the center. Black symbolizes the people of Kenya, red represents the struggle for freedom and the blood shed for independence, green reflects the country's fertile land and natural wealth, while the white stripes stand for peace and unity. The shield and spears symbolize the defense of freedom.

Kenya officially adopted its current national flag on December 12, 1963, when it gained independence from the United Kingdom. The design is based on the flag of the Kenya African National Union (KANU), with white stripes added to symbolize peace.
