Eritrea Flag
Eritrea's national flag was established on December 5, 1995. It has a basic layout and colors inspired by the Eritrean People's Liberation Front banner, as well as an emblem featuring a wreath and an upright olive branch adopted from the flag used from 1952 to 1962.
The flag's green tint signifies the country's agriculture and livestock industries, blue represents the abundance of the sea, and red represents the blood spent in the fight for Eritrean independence. The wreath's 30 leaves represent the 30 years spent fighting for independence.
