It consists of six equal horizontal bands of black (top), yellow, red, black, yellow, and red (bottom); a white disc is superimposed at the centre and depicts the national symbol, a grey crowned crane, facing the hoist side. During the colonial era the British used a British Blue ensign defaced with the colonial badge, as prescribed in 1865 regulations. Buganda, the largest of the traditional kingdoms in the colony of Uganda, had its own flag.[1] However, in order to avoid appearing to give preference to one region of the colony over any other, the British colonial authorities selected the crane emblem for use on the Blue ensign and other official banners.[2] HistoryWhen the Democratic Party ruled the country, a design for flag was proposed. It had vertical stripes of green-blue-green, separated by narrower yellow stripes, and in the centre had the silhouette of a yellow crane. After the party lost the national elections on 25 April 1962 the newly elected Uganda People's Congress (UPC) rejected the former design and instead proposed the current design. It was based on the flag of UPC– a tricolour having horizontal strips of red, yellow and black. The British administration gave their approval to this design before the country's independence. The flag was designed by the Ugandan Minister of Justice, Grace Ibingira.[2] SymbolismThe three colours are representative of African peoples (black), Africa's sunshine (yellow), and African brotherhood (red being the colour of blood, through which all Africans are connected).[3] The grey crowned crane is fabled for its gentle nature and was also the military badge of Ugandan soldiers during British rule. The raised leg of the crane symbolises the forward movement of the country.[4] Other flagsReferences1. ^{{cite web|title=Buganda (Uganda)|url=http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/ug-bugan.html#61|website=FOTW Flags Of The World website|accessdate=31 August 2015}} {{clear}}{{Africa topic|Flag of|title=Flags of Africa}}{{nationalflags}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Uganda, Flag of}}2. ^1 {{cite web|title=flag of Uganda|url=http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/1355560/flag-of-Uganda|website=Encyclopædia Britannica|accessdate=14 September 2014}} 3. ^{{FOTW|id=ug|title=Uganda}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=Uganda National Symbols|url=http://www.ugandamission.net/aboutug/symbols.html|website=Uganda Mission|accessdate=14 September 2014}} 4 : National symbols of Uganda|Flags of Africa|Flags introduced in 1962|National flags |
