The flag of Eswatini, formerly known as Swaziland, features a unique design with three horizontal stripes: blue at the top, yellow in the middle, and red at the bottom. The blue stripes represent peace and stability, while the red stripe symbolizes the struggles of the people. The yellow stripe signifies the country's wealth and resources. In the center of the flag is a black and white shield, adorned with a spear and a staff crossed behind it. The shield symbolizes protection and defense of the nation, while the colors represent the cultural heritage of the Swazi people. Adopted on October 6, 1968, the flag embodies Eswatini's identity and aspirations as a proud, independent nation.
