Syria − In a historic move, the opposition-led transitional government in Syria has adopted the “Independence Flag” de facto following the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime. The flag, rooted in Syria’s pre-Baathist past, features three horizontal stripes: green (top), white (middle), and black (bottom), with three red stars centered on the white stripe.
Originally used in 1932 after gaining independence from France, this flag was later abandoned when the Baath Party seized power. Throughout Syria’s decade-long civil war, the flag became a symbol of opposition and unity, representing hope, resistance, and aspirations for freedom.
While not officially declared as the national flag, the “Independence Flag” is widely used in embassies abroad and across liberated regions as a unifying emblem during the political transition. For many Syrians, this flag embodies a fresh start, reflecting their desire for unity, peace, and sovereignty in a post-Assad Syria.
