The national flag of Ethiopia (Amharic: የኢትዮጵያ ሰንደቅ ዓላማ, yä-Ityoṗya SändäqʿAlama; Oromo: Alaaba biyyaalessa Itiyoophiyaa) is a green, gold, and red tricolour with the National Emblem, a golden pentagram on a blue disc, superimposed at the center. While the colors green, gold, and red in combination held symbolic importance since at least the early 17th century, the modern tricolor was first adopted on 11 October 1897, and the present flag on 31 October 1996.
