The Mali region has been the seat of extensive empires and kingdoms, notably those of Ghana, Mali, and Gao. The medieval empire of Mali was a powerful state and one of the world's chief gold suppliers.
The current configuration of the flag was approved on March 1, 1961. The colors of Mali flag are associated with its vibrant history. They are interpreted as follows: the green stripe signifies hope, gold symbolizes purity and wealth and red indicates the force and the struggles of the heroes of independence.
The original flag of Mali was first raised on April 4, 1959, at the time of the creation of Mali Federation when French Sudan and Senegal joined forces. Mali Federation obtained its independence on June 20, 1960, and shortly thereafter Senegal, due to inherent discord, disaffiliated from the Federation, built a new nation and adopted its own flag.
The black kanaga has been the crowning feature of the flag of Mali together with the tricolors until the kanaga was abandoned on March 1, 1961. It was believed that the black kanaga symbol included in the first flag was the idea of Leopold Senghor, who came to be the later Senegal president. Up until now, the Mali flag retained the tricolors of the Pan-African colors.
The flag of Mali consists of three equal-sized vertical stripes - the left stripe is green; the middle is yellow and the right stripe is red. The green stripe symbolizes hope, nature and fertility of the land. The yellow represents purity and mineral wealth and red stands for strength and the blood shed for independence.
Therefore, as of March 1, 1961, the emblem was dropped from the flag, and the plain tricolor represented the nation. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of Mali Flag for the future.
