Flag
Description
three equal horizontal bands of red (top), white, and black;
the Takbir (Arabic expression meaning "God is great")
in green Arabic script is centered in the white band; the
band colors derive from the Arab Liberation flag and represent
oppression (black), overcome through bloody struggle (red),
to be replaced by a bright future (white); the Council of
Representatives approved this flag in 2008 as a compromise
replacement for the Ba'thist SADDAM-era flag
note: similar to the flag of Syria, which has two stars but
no script; Yemen, which has a plain white band; and that of
Egypt, which has a golden Eagle of Saladin centered in the
white band |
