Y is for Yemen



The flag of Yemen, adopted on May 22, 1990 when North Yemen and South Yemen joined together.

Cool factoid: Red, white, black and green are called the pan-Arab colors and have been historically linked to the Arab people and Islamic faith for centuries. The red stripe represents the blood shed during the country's struggle for independence. The white symbolizes hope for the future, and the black stripe represents an end to the country's dark past.
