Mali

The flag of Mali (French: Drapeau du Mali) is a tricolour with three equal vertical stripes. From the hoist (the place where the flagpole meets the flag) the colours are green, gold, and red, the pan-African colors. The flag is almost identical to the flag of Guinea, with the exception that the colors are in reverse order. The flags colors have different meanings. The green stands for fertility of the land, Gold means purity and mineral wealth and lastly red symbolizes the blood shed for independence from the French. [Flag of Mali. Wikipedia]
