Patch of the Flag of Ethiopia. The flag colors of green, yellow, and red have carried special importance to Ethiopia since at least the early 17th century. The Ethiopian flag is one of the oldest African flags having the three colors of African unity. The flag's basic banner scheme has existed since the early 19th century, and was previously the official banner of the Ethiopian Empire's Solomonic dynasty.
However, as new governments came to power, emblems were sometimes added to the center of the flag. The present flag (adopted in 1996) bears a yellow star on a blue disc which overlaps the green and red stripes. The star testifies to Ethiopia's bright future and possibly echoes the connection with the House of King Solomon, while the yellow rays which it emits are equidistant and are said to represent the equality of all Ethiopians regardless of race, creed, or sex.
Thanks to mujonny for actually taking this bug to Ethiopia.
