The Timor-Leste flag

Dili was speckled with the Timor-Leste flag, probably a leftover from the 10 year independence celebration. The yellow triangle represents 'the traces of colonialism in East Timor's History'; the black triangle, 'the obscurantism that needs to be overcome'; the red base, 'the struggle for national liberation'; the star, or 'the light that guides', is white to represent peace.
