BWflag

What ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ผ means

The flag of Botswana: light blue with a black horizontal stripe edged in white. It stands for the southern African country of the Okavango Delta and the Kalahari.

Safari travelers post ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ผ with ๐Ÿ˜ and ๐Ÿฆ. Batswana use it for national pride, Independence Day on 30 September and their football team, the Zebras.

The blue stands for water and rain, precious in a dry country, and the black and white stripe recalls a zebra's coat.
