The Flag of Burkina Faso is formed by two equal horizontal bands of red (top) and green with a yellow five-pointed star in the center; it uses the popular pan-African colors of Ethiopia. The red also stands for the socialist revolution, and the green for the richness of Burkina Faso. The yellow color of the star represents the guiding light of the revolution [1] (http://flagspot.net/flags/bf.html#descr)
