The national flag of Yemen was adopted on 22 May 1990—the day of the Yemeni unification. The flag of Yemen resembles the Arab Liberation Flag of 23 July 1952, introduced after the Egyptian Revolution of 1952 in which Arab nationalism was a dominant theme. The Arab Liberation Flag of 23 July 1952 served as the derivation for the flags of both North and South Yemen prior to unification by omiting the distinctive elements from the existing designs, as well as for the current flags of Egypt, Iraq, Sudan, Palestine and Syria.
