Burkina Faso: about the flag

Burkina Faso's flag arrived the same night as its name. On 4 August 1984, Thomas Sankara's revolutionary government renamed the country, from Upper Volta, named after three rivers, and hoisted the new flag: red and green with a golden star.

Red is the revolution and the blood of those who fought for it, green the agriculture that feeds the country, and the star the light guiding the people forward. All three colors also belong to the pan-African family.

Sankara's revolution lasted only four years before his assassination in 1987, but the flag stayed. Today 4 August remains a public holiday, and the red-green-star banner flies over Ouagadougou, a flag whose birthday is also the country's.
