Date Flag first adopted: January 22nd, 2008
Description: Three equal horizontal bands of red (top), white, and black; the Takbir (Arabic expression meaning
"God is great") in green Arabic script is centered in the white band; similar to the flag of Syria, which has
two stars but no script, Yemen, which has a plain white band, and that of Egypt, which has a gold Eagle of
Saladin centered in the white band; design is based upon the Arab Liberation colors; Council of Representatives
approved this flag as a compromise temporary replacement for Ba'athist Saddam-era flag.
