Meaning of the flag of Sudan
The four colors are the pan-Arab colors. Red is usually explained as the struggle and sacrifice of the nation's martyrs, white as peace and optimism, black as Sudan itself, whose name comes from the Arabic for land of the black people, and green as Islam and the country's farming wealth. The design was adopted in 1970, replacing the blue, yellow and green tricolor used after independence.
