The colours of the Ethiopian flag are drawn from one of the oldest African flags. It is very likely the colours of Ethiopia that gave rise to the term pan-African colours. The green, yellow and red have been used on many African flags in post-colonial times.

Generally the red represents power or African blood spilled in defence of the land. The yellow is for peace and harmony between Ethiopia's various ethnic and religious groups. The green is said to symbolise hope, or the land and its fertility.

It is sometimes seen with a yellow 5 pointed star on a blue circle in the centre.

In recent times the Ethiopian flag has often been seen at athletic championships and the Olympics, on the back of male and female distance runners.
