Flag of Niger

The orange, white, green, and orange horizontal bars of the flag of Niger have a central orange circle. The orange stripe stands for the Sahara desert of northern Niger, for Courage and Strength. The green on the flag represents the fertile south, the white the purity and peace. A traditional shield in the form of an orange circle, namely a 'tamat' or traditional shield, is called a symbol of unity and independence.
