UK - London - Libyan exiles protest outside their London embassy.

Young girl holds the flag of the independent kingdom as Libyan exiles protest outside their London embassy...The flag of the independent kingdom was red, black, and green with a crescent and star in the center. After the Libyan revolution of 1969, the flag was changed to the Arab Liberation Flag of horizontal red, white, and black bands. In 1971 Libya joined the Federation of Arab Republics with Egypt and Syria, which used a similar flag with a hawk emblem in the center and the name of the country beneath it. When Libya left the Federation in 1977, the new plain green flag was adopted. But during the 2011 uprising, the old flag was once again adopted.
