Meaning of the flag of Ethiopia
Green stands for the fertile land, yellow for peace and hope, and red for strength and sacrifice. The star in the blue disc represents the unity and equality of Ethiopia's peoples. Because Ethiopia kept its independence through the colonial era, apart from a brief Italian occupation, many African countries adopted its green, yellow and red as Pan-African colors.
