Meaning of the Flag

The national flag of Madagascar is a tricolour featuring two equal horizontal bands of red and green with a vertical white band of the same size on the hoist side. It was designed by Andrianome Ranaivosoa, an agent of the Malagasy National Geographic Institute. After succeeding his father, Radama had his kingdom adopt a white-and-red bicolour, a combination of his personal standards.
