Flag of Burundi
The flag of Burundi is partitioned by two white diagonals (stretching across forming a cross). It results into red sections (top and bottom) and green sections (hoist side and fly side). A white solid disk is placed on top at the center enclosing three red six-pointed stars, outlined in green and set in a triangular formation. The ratio of the flag is 2:3.
