Horizontal bands of blue, white and green divided by thin red fimbriations, with a white crescent and twelve stars in the upper hoist. Blue is the sky and water, white peace, green nature, and red the life force; the crescent marks the newborn republic and the twelve stars allude to the months and zodiac constellations.
