Flag of Syria

As a result of the Syrian Civil War since 2011, there are at least two flags used to represent Syria, used by different factions in the war.^[1] The incumbent government of the Syrian Arab Republic led by the Ba'ath Party uses the red-white-black tricolour originally used by the United Arab Republic, while Syrian opposition factions such as the Syrian National Coalition use the green-white-black tricolour known as the ''Independence flag'', first used by Mandatory Syria.
