The Uganda Flag 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. The 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). The flag was designed by the Ugandan Minister of Justice, Grace Ibingira. 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.
