Actually, that information is incorrect. The image is the national flag of Lesotho, and its symbols represent the country's culture and environment.
The flag was officially adopted on October 4, 2006, to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the nation's independence. Its design and colors correspond to the national motto: Khotso, Pula, Nala (Peace, Rain, Prosperity).
Actual Symbolic Meanings
The "Crown" (Mokorotlo): This is a traditional Basotho straw hat. It is a national symbol representing the indigenous Basotho people and their cultural identity. Its shape is believed to be inspired by the conical Mount Qiloane.
Blue Stripe: Represents the sky and rain (Pula), which are vital for Lesotho’s agriculture-based economy.
White Stripe: Symbolizes peace (Khotso), reflecting the nation's long-standing ideology.
Green Stripe: Represents prosperity (Nala) and the richness of the land.
