Flag of Harari

Wikipedia shows a flag for Harari as being a horizontal tricolour of unequal stripes of white, red, white, green and white, with the state emblem in the centre if the middle white stripe.  The middle white stripe is double the width of the red and green stripes above and below it, which in turn are double the width of the outer white stripes.  No details on the symbolism or dates of adoption are given.
