Malawi's flag, which was adopted in 1964, is a horizontal tribar made up of three equally sized stripes: black (top - for the people of Africa), red (middle - for the blood shed in struggles for independence), and green (bottom - for lush vegetation). Resting in the center of the top black stripe is the image of a red rising half sun representing the dawn of freedom and hope on the African continent.
