What ๐พ๐ช means
Yemen's flag: red, white and black horizontal bands with no emblem. It represents Yemen and Yemeni people.
Yemenis at home and abroad use it for national pride, family news and appeals for humanitarian aid. Coffee lovers link it to the old port of Mocha โ, and travelers to the strange trees of Socotra.
๐ช๐ฌ Egypt and ๐ฎ๐ถ Iraq use the same three bands but add an eagle or green Arabic script; Yemen's is the plain one.
