Republika y' Uburundi / Republique du Burundi; Republic of Burundi

Meaning and origin of the flag
The flag was adopted in 1967.
Stuart Notholt, 12 Mar 1996

The ratio of the flag was changed 27-9-82 to 3:5 when was published the official regulation. [Earlier de facto proportions 2:3. Ed.]
Jaume Olle, 05 Sep 1998

The three stars in the centre of the flag officially refer to the three words in the national motto “Unite, Travail, Progres” (French for “Unity, Work, Progress”). The three stars are also said to represent the three ethnic groups who live in Burundi: the Hutu, Tutsi and the Twa. Burundi has a similar ethnic mix to Rwanda and has similar problems. The Twa are a pigmy race. The red in the flag stands for the independence struggle, the green for hope and the white for peace.
Stuart Notholt, 12 Mar 1996

W. Smith, 1980 also suggests the possibility of the Burundian flag being based on the old Sabena flag, but he also says that there is no proof of that.

Flag use
According to [W. Smith, 1980 civilians have the right to use this flag only on holidays. Otherwise the flag is used as a state flag and military flag on land. President of the Republic has right to use a flag on buildings.
Zeljko Heimer, 13 Mar 1996

Colour approximations given in Album 2000 are:
Red: Pantone 186c - CMYK (%) C 0 - M 90 - Y 80 - K 5
Green: Pantone 361c - CMYK (%) C 80 - M 0 - Y 90 - K 0
Ivan Sache, 8 April 2001

Regarding the dimensions, I was a bit speculating about the possible measures. As judging from the Album 2000 image, the measures could be easily something like this (3:5 width to length ratio is known):
white disk diameter: 3/5 of hoist
side of the equilateral trangle connecting centers of the stars: 1/4 of hoist
width of white saltire: 1/8 of hoist
diameter of the circle around each of the stars: 1/8 of hoist
Would that sound reasonable?
One should note that the green in BI flag is considerably lighter then green shades used in near by shown flags (in Album 2000) of Burkina and Bulgaria. The use of the lighter FOWT green (otherwise quite rarely used in FOTW images), as in Ivan's gif is rightly chosen.
