History
The current flag of Yemen was adopted on 22 May 1990 upon the unification of North Yemen and South Yemen. Its red, white, and black bands are Pan-Arab colors linked to the wider tradition of Arab unity. The colors are commonly understood to represent the blood shed for independence and unity, a peaceful and hopeful future, and the dark past.
