Symbols of the Eritrea’s flag

This vexillary emblem (the Eritrean national flag) was adopted in 1995, a few years after the country's independence from Ethiopia.

It is one of the symbols representing the state of Eritrea with the coat of arms of Eritrea, the national anthem entitled "Ertra, Ertra, Ertra, Ertra" (meaning Eritrea, Eritrea, Eritrea, Eritrea in Tigrigna, spoken in Eritrea and Ethiopia) and the dromedary, the emblematic national animal.

All you need to know about the meaning of the Eritrean African flag!

The Eritrean flag consists of three triangles, one red, one green and one blue. It is decorated with a yellow emblem in the large red triangle on the shaft side.

It is one of the symbols of the Republic of Eritrea, a fairly recent independent state in East Africa that was a colony of the Kingdom of Ethiopia. The neighbouring countries are Sudan, Ethiopia and Djibouti.

The design of this African national flag (both its colours and geometric shapes and layout) was inspired by the former flag of the FPLE (Popular Front for the Liberation of Eritrea), the military and political organisation that emerged during Eritrea's war of independence.

The golden emblem of the olive branches also comes from an ancient Eritrean flag, when the country was part of the federation with Ethiopia. This emblem with its golden olive branches symbolizes the country's mineral and oil wealth, particularly copper, gold, oil, iron and potash.

All the elements of the flag actually have a very particular meaning that owes nothing to chance, as is the case with the colours but also with the geometric shapes of the Eritrean flag.

The green triangle at the top represents the fertile land and agriculture of the country, the blue triangle at the bottom evokes the colour of the Red Sea which borders the country to the east.

The red colour evokes the blood that flowed for the achievement of Independence and indeed the geometric shape of this red triangle has a very specific meaning: its wider layout on the left and decreasing to the right shows the following wish: blood should no longer flow in Eritrea in the future!
