- THE NATIONAL FLAG

HOW much do you know about the nitty-gritty details of Uganda’s national flag, save for its’ colours and the unmistakable crested crane?

The crested crane is Uganda’s national emblem, a symbol of peace and humility.

It always faces the flag pole, and nowhere else, a sign that Uganda is moving forward, not static.

Note its left leg, whose posture reflects a significant stride forward.
