Flag of Kenya

From Free net encyclopedia

Image:Flag of Kenya.svg The flag of Kenya was adopted on December 12, 1963.

The flag is based on that of Kenya African National Union. The colors symbolize black majority, red for the blood shed during the struggle for freedom and green for natural wealth; the white fimbriation was added later and symbolizes peace. The traditional Maasai shield and two spears symbolize the defense of all the things mentioned above.
