More vexillology than heraldry, but I gues it is similar… Lesotho has a new flag

apparently a move toward a message of a nation "at peace with itself and its neighbours"...

It includes a "traditional cone-shaped hat worn by indigenous Basotho"

Reading the brief article I found myself thinking… ‘can’t we all just get along?’ OK, bad, bad, bad I know…he, he. But, I guess if it is what the people want and it hurts no one… still so much for tradition…even if it is only 40 years of independent tradition. wink
