Ethiopian Flag - meanings

Ok - during our tour of the University Museum the other day our guide was so awesome!  He told us about the flag and it was amazing.
so here is what he told us:

RED = blood shed for all the fighting in the history
YELLOW = light and brightness - the future of the country
GREEN= fertility of the country, the land and all of that.

The star is the diversity of the country, the acceptance of the religions, tribes, languages, etc - how everything is welcomed and accepted.

anyhow - I felt this was pretty dang cool and wanted to share - I may not have it perfect - but its close.
