The national flag of Burundi (Kirundi: ibendera ry'Uburundi, French: Drapeau du Burundi) consists of a white cross that separates the field into alternating red and green areas. The center of the cross merges into a white disk. On the white disk, there are three red six-pointed stars bordered in green. The white color of the cross represents peace; the green color represents the nation's hopes placed on future development; the red color symbolizes the suffering of the nation during its freedom struggle; and the stars refer to the three major ethnic groups of the country.
