The History Of Burundi Flag For The Future

By Adam Bright


Burundi, country in east-central Africa, south of the Equator. The landlocked country, a historic kingdom, is one of the few countries in Africa whose borders were not determined by colonial rulers.

Historical records begin with the reign of Rwabugiri, who comes to the throne in 1860 and eventually controls a region almost as large as the present Rwanda. His realm is organized on a feudal basis, with the Tutsi as the aristocracy and the Hutu as their vassals.

In the nineteenth century, Burundi was ruled by a Tutsi King. In 1890, Burundi turned out to be a piece of German East Africa. The Germans did not endeavor to represent the territory until 1897. Around then, Burundi's banner was the German tricolor banner that had three equivalent measured flat flags.

The top flag was dark, the center standard was white, and the lower pennant was red. In the center of the white standard was an uncrowned majestic hawk. In 1916 amid World War I, the Belgian armed force involved Burundi. In 1922, the war had finished and the League of Nations had been set up.

Burundi turned out to be a part of Belgium as a command from the League of Nations. Burundi was a part of the Belgium Congo until 1962. It was the Belgians who conveyed the French dialect to Burundi, where a great many people communicate in French. On July 1, 1962, the nation turned into the free Kingdom of Burundi. With this freedom, Burundi made another banner.

It had two diagonal white strips which created a top and bottom red triangular shapes and a left and right green triangular shapes. Centered over the strips and triangular shapes was a white circle. Inside the circle was a black drum, called the Karyenda, which is a traditional emblem of the Mwami or king. Below and slightly in front, the drum was also a green sorghum plant with a red blossom. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of Burundi flag for the future.
