triangles, the bases of which are overlapping. One triangle is black and its
height is equal to one-third of the length overlapped to the yellow triangle,
whose height is equal to half the length of the Flag. In the centre of the
black triangle there is a white star of five ends, meaning the light that
guides. The white star has one of its ends turned towards the upper right end
of the flag. The remaining part of the flag is red.

Black - the obscurantism that needs to be overcome;
