Malawi Flag Information:

The flag of Malawi was officially adopted on July 6, 1964, on the day it gained independence from British rule. Malawi was earlier a protectorate of Britain and was called Nyasaland. The Malawi flag is modeled on the banner adopted by the Malawi Congress Party which led the struggle for independence. The black stripe on the Malawi flag stands for the African people. The red color symbolizes the blood shed for their independence struggle. The green color signifies the country's vegetation. The rising sun is symbolic of the dawn of freedom and hope among the people of the African continent. Black, red and green are considered as the “black liberation “colors.
