Everybody welcome back to flag fan Friday

Hope you liked the Kuwait episode alright

So you know the deal every time before we start I gotta fix up the mistakes that I made in the country episode number one

The demographics graph was a complete mess the percentage was completely off. I went overboard to a hundred and ten percent

I meant to say thirty seven percent not forty seven percent for the expats and also I accidentally said India twice

I meant to say India and Indonesia, but it might defense come on they both start with IND so it's like indeed

And also I think this is not the correct picture of sana a jittery he's a famous Kuwaiti astrophysicist anyway

I think there's a few more, but yeah, whatever and those are the biggest ones alright now. We can go on without further ado

Kuwait was such a fun episode to film because you know it's like one of those countries

You don't know too much about it, but they have been in the headlines in the news a few times

But so you kind of need to brush up or otherwise they kind of remain a little obscure

It's those quiet kids in the class you got to keep your eyes on all right flag time the flag of Kuwait

There's a horizontal tricolour of green white and red with a black

trapezoid on the left or moist side this makes Kuwait the only fully recognized sovereign country with a flag that incorporates a

Trapezoid on it the colors of course utilize the pan-arab colors or red white and green and black

however many might also say that they are inspired off a poem written in 13th century by this guy the green for the fields of

the Arabs and the land the black standing for the battles they faced in the defeat of the enemy the white for the purity of

Specifically though the red stands for the blood on the swords, but it was it's blood

It's still it's still blood once again. You guys know who made that animation it was Ken

Thank you can follow him on Instagram, Ken. I appreciate you so much. I will not fire you this week

now keep my Kuwait was under a few other flags before this one as mentioned in the Kuwait episode they were a

protectorate of the UK for a while and more under this wag and prior to that they're under a bunch of crescent and star

Flags with a red field, but yeah, that's about it for their flags now

Which is not a coat of arms is an emblem the emblem of Kuwait contains a golden Falcon the national bird

Expanding its wings in a circular fashion around a disc image of the sea with a traditional boom sailing ship with the words

the emblem has the word emblem written on it as well as a vertically draped Kuwaiti flag in a shield shape below the Falcon the

Falcon represents Quraysh the tribe that the Prophet Mohammed belonged to whereas the boat

symbolizes the historical maritime tradition of the country long before in its beginning stages prior to this they also had two other emblems from the

Protectorate years they incorporated the old flag of Kuwait and they also had like a hawk one of them even had a crown

Oh, yeah, after independence this one was created, and it stands today alright. That's about it. That means you know what time it is
