Banner o Kuwait

The banner o Kuwait () wis adoptit on September 7, 1961 an offeecially hoistit November 24, 1961.

Afore 1961, the banner o Kuwait, lik those o ither Gulf states, wis reid an white. The present banner is in the Pan-Arab colours, but each colour is an aa significant in its awn richt. Black represents the defeat o the enemy, while reid is the colour o bluid on the Kuwaiti swords. White seembolizes purity, an green is for the fertile land. 

The colours' meanin came frae a poem bi Safie Al-Deen Al-Hali:
White are oor actions
Black are oor wars
Green are oor lands
Red are oor swords

Rules o hangin an flyin the banner:
Horizontally: The green stripe shoud be on tap.
Vertically: The green stripe shoud be on the richt side o the banner.
