The flag of East Timor isbasically red. It has two overlapping horizontal isosceles triangles to the left of the flag pointing to the middle. The bottom triangle is yellow and the top one is black. In the center of the black triangle is a white five pointed star.

According to the Constitution of the Democratic Republic of East Timor (Timor-Leste), the yellow triangle represents "the traces of colonialism in East Timor's History"; the black triangle represents "the obscurantism that needs to be overcome"; the red base of the flag represents "the struggle for national liberation"; whilst the star, or "the light that guides", is white to represent peace.
