Flag of Haiti - stock photo

The flag of Haiti consists of two horizontal stripes: blue on top and red below. The blue symbolizes the nation's African ancestry and unity, while the red represents the bloodshed of those who fought for independence. At the center is a white rectangle featuring Haitis coat of arms, which includes a palm tree, a Phrygian cap, and crossed rifles, symbolizing freedom, liberty, and the nation's readiness to defend its independence. Flanking the palm tree are flags and two cannons, and above this emblem is a scroll with the motto L'UNION FAIT LA FORCE, meaning Unity Makes Strength.
