From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
The national flag of Burundi was adopted on June 28, 1967. The green color symbolizes hope, white for purity, and red for the struggle of independence. The flag has a basic white cross that divides the field into four areas, two green, and two red. In the center, is a circle that that contains three stars that stand for the three major ethnic groups of Burundi: the Hutu, the Twa and the Tutsi. The three stars also stand for the three elements of the national motto: Unity, Work and Progress.
