The flag of Swaziland was adopted on October 6, 1968. [ [http://flagspot.net/flags/sz.html Swaziland ] ]

The red stands for past battles, the blue for peace and stability, and the yellow for the resources of Swaziland. The central focus of the flag is a shield and two spears, symbolizing protection from the country's enemies. Its colour is meant to show that white and black people live in peaceful coexistence in Swaziland. The Flag is based on one given by the late King Sobhuza II to the Swazi Pioneer Corps in 1941. On it is an Emasotsha shield, laid horizontally. The shield is reinforced by a staff from which hangs injobo tassels-bunches of feathers of the widowbird and the loury. They also decorate the shield. Above the staff are two assegais-local spears.Fact|date=January 2008
