Yemen Nylon Flag

About Our Yemen Nylon Flag

In 1990 the two states united as the Republic of Yemen with a common capital, government, and flag. The easiest approach with regard to choosing the new flag was to omit the distinctive elements from the existing designs. Since May 22, 1990, Yemen has used only the simple tricolour: black is said to stand for the dark days of the past, while white represents a bright future and red the blood of the struggle to achieve independence and unity. Similar flags have been used by Libya, Egypt, Syria, Iraq, and The Sudan.
