History
The national flag of Yemen is the official flag of the Republic of Yemen. It was adopted on 22 May 1990, the day of the unification of Yemen. It resembles the Arab Liberation Flag that was used by the National Liberation Front. It served as the derivation for the flags of both North and South Yemen prior to their unification, and the distinctive elements of flag were removed in choosing the flag post-unification.
