Flag of the Syrian Opposition - Symbol of the Syrian Revolution #1988720 (License: Personal Use)

This flag, widely used by Syrian opposition groups since the 2011 revolution, consists of a white field with a red five-pointed star in the canton and a black diagonal band extending from the upper hoist to lower fly. The red star symbolizes socialism and revolutionary struggle, while the black stripe represents mourning for victims and defiance against authoritarian rule. Its design deliberately contrasts with the official Syrian Arab Republic flag to assert political legitimacy and national renewal.

Used on protest banners, websites, and international advocacy materials by Syrian civil society and opposition coalitions; matches user intent for historical symbolism, political identity, or educational research on the Syrian conflict.
