The African country's flag with a blue, yellow, and green triband and a yellow sun in the upper fly corner is Rwanda.
Rwanda adopted its current flag on 31 December 2001. It was designed by Rwandan artist and engineer Alphonse Kirimobenecyo after the country sought new national symbols following the 1994 genocide. The design was intended to express unity, patriotism, and hope.
The blue upper stripe occupies half the flag, while the yellow and green stripes below are equal in height. Blue symbolizes happiness and peace, yellow represents economic development, and green represents hope for prosperity. The golden sun stands for national unity, transparency, and enlightenment.
The sun has 24 rays, which must not touch its circumference. The flag is sometimes confused with those of Uganda, Tanzania, or Burundi because they also use strong regional color traditions. Rwanda's blue-dominant upper half and sun placed on the upper fly side are the decisive clues. The fly side is the edge opposite the flagpole.
