What ๐ช๐ท means
The flag of Eritrea: a red triangle from the pole side divides green and blue, with a gold olive wreath. It stands for the country on the Red Sea coast of the Horn of Africa.
Eritreans at home and in the diaspora use ๐ช๐ท for Independence Day on 24 May, cultural festivals and cycling, a sport with a big following there.
