History of The Flag of Eritrea
The flag of Eritrea was officially adopted on December 5, 1995, after the country gained independence from Ethiopia following a prolonged struggle that lasted for 30 years. The design of the current flag is heavily influenced by the flag of the Eritrean People's Liberation Front, which played a significant role in the country's fight for independence. The basic layout and color scheme of the flag were conceived during the independence movement, symbolizing freedom, unity, and the sacrifice of the Eritrean people. The addition of the wreath and olive branch in the final design was meant to represent peace and the hope for a prosperous future following independence.
