Adopted upon independence in 1962, the Burundi flag represents the hardships of the colonial era and the hope for the post-independence period. The three stars symbolize Burundi's national motto, "Unity, Work, Progress," and also represent the harmony among the tribes.
As a country that achieved peace after a long civil war, the meaning embedded in the Burundi flag is even more special. Recently, the flag has been reinterpreted by the younger generation as a symbol of peace and reconciliation, and it is frequently used in hashtag movements on social media supporting peace and development in Africa.
