The Malawi flag
According to an article (from Africa News Network) quoted by Jan Oskar Engene, 27 Jan 1999, the current red and green colours of the Malawi flag represents the martyrs of Africa and Africa's green vegetation, respectively, while black means Africa is black. Panafrican News Agency (PANA) mentions (30 December 1998), that the red in the current flag stands for blood Malawians shed during their struggle for independence, the black for black race and the green represents the country's landscape.
Mark Sensen, 4 Jan 1999

The Malawi national flag was adopted at independence on 6 July 1964 and is described and illustrated in the Protected Flag, Emblems and Names Act (1964) - First Schedule Part I:

Description: From the top of the Flag to the bottom thereof, three equal horizontal stripes of black, red and green with a red rising sun superimposed in the centre of the black stripe.



Ratio Length to breadth: Three to two



Significance: Black represents the people of the Continent of Africa.

The Rising Sun represents the dwn of hope and freedom for the whole Continent of Africa.

Red represents the blood of the martyrs of African freedom.

Green represents the ever green nature of Malawi.



Specifications: Red - British Standard Shade Number 0 - 005

Green - British Standard Shade Number 0 - 010

Bruce Berry, 5 Jan 1999

I've been perusing some of the flags for African countries, and it looked to me that the current flag for Malawi really doesn't capture the essence of the sun's rays. According to all of my flag texts, the rays on the flag aren't lines, but more "feathered" - with rounded ends narrowing to a point.

National Flag. CSW/C-- 2:3
Black-red-green tricolour with red rising sun in the middle of the black stripe. The rays that I drew previously were not quite the same as in Album 2000 so I have improved them. I am not sure if there is an official specification for the sun emblem. [vdv00] uses specifications from the Flag Research Center which is slightly different.
