The flag of South Sudan is composed of three equal horizontal bands of black, red with white top and bottom edges, and green. A blue equilateral triangle which spans about two-fifth the width of the field is superimposed on the hoist side with its base on the hoist end of the field. At the center of this triangle is a five-pointed yellow star.Coat of arms of South Sudan
