Rwandan Flag

Why I chooses this topic

I choose this topic because I already had done a

presentation on this for French and wanted to
know more about it.

About the Rwandan

The green is symbolic of the country's prosperity,

the yellow is symbolic of potential and real
economic development, and the blue is symbolic
of happiness and peace. The sun and its rays are
said to represent enlightenment

History of the flag

The Rwandan flag was adopted on October 25,
2001. The Rwandan flag was created to replace
the previous one that had been in use since 1961,
just before Rwanda gained independence from
Belgium on July 1, 1962. The government wanted
to disassociate the former flag from the country's
genocide of 1994, when ethnic violence ravaged
the land.
