Meaning of the Flag

The national flag of Tunisia is a rectangular panel of red color with an aspect ratio of 2:3. In the center of the cloth in a white disk is placed a red crescent, surrounding a red five-pointed star on three sides. In 1925 a formal proposal was made to adopt that flag as official, but no action was taken. The white symbolizes peace, the disk symbolizes the radiance of the nation as the sun, while the crescent and five-pointed star represent unity of all Muslims and the Five Pillars of Islam, respectively. It is deployed during commemorations and national honors in a strictly ceremonial manner.
