What does the Malian flag mean?
The three colours probably represent these: red = the blood of their civilians killed in war and colonialism; green = their hopefully bright future and the environment; yellow = the rising sun of hope for the nation. But these three colours were adopted from the national flag of Ethiopia, because Ethiopia was one of only two countries not under the influence of foreign powers during the Scramble for Africa, and because it is one of the most African countries, having one of the longest recorded histories and being the most likely birthplace of humanity.

Why should the rebel flag not fly?
The Rebel flag should not fly because it is offensive to African Americans. Many terrorist groups liked to fly the flag, such as the Ku Klux Klan. The Rebel Flag belongs in a museum, not in a place of honor.
NO ONE has the right to tell anyone else what they can or can not fly. As American Citizens we have the right to free speech and expression. As long as that right does not "PHYSICALLY" hurt anyone. Flying a flag that identifies you with your cultural history doesn't hurt anyone. Heck, most African Americans when asked what country they come from say Africa!........That's a continent....not a country!For a very long time before the Civil War that Dixie flag was flown. Its part of the identity and culture of many proud people. And regardless of whether you like it or nor being an American citizen gives them the right to believe that slavery is right, as long as they do not act upon those feelings and break the law. That's the problem with you nutty liberals. You believe you have the right to take everyone else's rights away. Hipocricy at its finest!

Obviously is you have no respect for your country, traditions, culture and history, you have no reason to show any special respect for your flag over any other piece of cloth, but if you have respect for your country, treating the flag appropriately is a manifestation of that.
