Flag Meaning: The black is for the people; the white exemplifies peace, harmony, brightness, and hope; red stands for the blood spilled for freedom; the green represents Islam, blue represents the Nile River; and the star symbolizes the unity of the states of South Sudan.
Symbolism [edit]. The Kenyan flag is based on that of Kenya African National Union and was adopted in December 12, 1963 as the country's flag. The color black represents the people of the Republic of Kenya, red for the blood shed during the fight for independence, green for the country's landscape and natural wealth. The white fimbriation was added later to symbolize peace and honesty.
