The national '''flag of [[Burundi]]''' was adopted on March 28, 1967. It consists of a white [[saltire]] which divides the field into alternating red and green areas. The center of the saltire merges into a white disk, on which there are three red solid six-pointed stars outlined in green. The ratio of the flag was 2:3 until September 27, 1982.<br />
<br />
==Symbolism==<br />
The [[green]] colour symbolizes [[hope]], the [[white]] symbolises [[peace]], and [[red]] those who fell in the struggle for independence.<ref>''Guide to the Flags of the World'' by Mauro Talocci, revised and updated by Whitney Smith (ISBN 0-688-01141-1), p. 153.</ref> The three [[star]]s stand for the three major ethnic groups of [[Burundi]]: the [[Hutu]], the [[Twa]] and the [[Tutsi]]{{Citation needed|date=March 2010}} The three stars also stand for the three elements of the national motto: ''Unité, Travail, Progrès'' ("Unity, Work, Progress"), which can be seen on the [[Coat of arms of Burundi]].<ref>''Guide to the Flags of the World'' by Mauro Talocci, revised and updated by Whitney Smith (ISBN 0-688-01141-1), p. 153.</ref><br />
