The '''flag of [[Mali]]''' ([[French language|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 (color)|gold]], and [[red]], the [[pan-African colors]]. The flag is identical to the [[flag of Guinea]], with the exception that the colors are in reverse order.<br />
<br />
The current flag was adopted on March 1, 1961. The original flag was adopted on April 4, 1959, when Mali joined the [[Mali Federation]]. This flag was the same, except the golden stripe had a human stick figure, a ''kanaga'', in black, with arms raised to the sky. The figure was removed because of [[Islam]]ic [[aniconism in Islam|aniconism]], the belief against making pictures of the human figure. (Mali is about [[Demographics of Mali|90% Muslim]].)<br />
<br />
The flag adopted in 1959 for the Confederation was an imitation of the flag of Ghana, but following the style of the French Tricolore. It was changed with a black emblem known as a [[kanaga]], a stylized human figure. The colors were intended to reflect a unity with other African nations. After the two countries split up in 1960, the flag was kept for use in Mali until March 1, 1961, when the [[kanaga]] emblem was dropped. <br />
