	Flag of Rwanda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The new flag of Rwanda was adopted on October 25, 2001.
		The flag has four colours: blue, green, and two forms of yellow (standard yellow for the middle band and what the Pantone system calls "sun yellow" for the sun); the difference between the two yellows is barely noticeable.
		Rwanda's previous flag was a red-yellow-green tricolour with a large letter 'R' to distinguish it from the otherwise identical Flag of Guinea.

	Rwanda
		The new flag of the Rwandan republic is composed of three colours: green, yellow and blue.
		The image of the flag seems to have 1:2 ratio but the sun is a little bit horizontally elliptical - so I guess the image is somewhat distorted, elongated horizontally, so that the sun should in fact be circular and the flag ratio ~2:3.
		Rwandans have long held that the flag should be replaced as the colour red is associated with bloodshed that has characterized the country since independence, culminating in the 1994 genocide in which between 500 000 and 800 000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus were killed by Hutu extremists.

	Rwanda, Africa - Travel Guide and Tourist Information
		Rwanda is a landlocked country surrounded by Uganda in the north, Tanzania in the east, Burundi in the south, and Zaire to its west and northwest.
		Rwanda lies on the East African plateau, with the divide between the water systems of the Nile and Zaire rivers passing in a north-south direction through the western part of the country.
		To the west of the divide, the land drops sharply to Lake Kivu in the Great African Rift Valley; to the east, the land falls gradually across the central plateau - its grassy highlands are the core areas of settlement of Rwanda's population - to the swamps and lakes on the country's eastern border.

		It appeared that this flag was identical with the flag of Guinea, so the 'R' was inserted in 1962 for 'R(uanda), born through R(evolution), confirmed by R(eferendum)'.
		I guess that 01 July 1962 is the official adoption of the legislation that confirmed the addition of the letter R in the flag that was done already in practice previous September.
		Separately, Rwanda's flag was simply the Pan-African colors with an "R", and Burundi's was installed in 1962 (they changed the symbols in the center following the end of the monarchy in 1967) to show independence from Germany and Belgium, but I can't find any mention of the earlier, combined area anywhere.
