The postal Clerk from Ethiopia did not apply one postmark on the stamps. But, fortunately - I have the receive postmark. yet, quite short time from Ethiopia to Romania :)
The national flag of Ethiopia (Amharic: የኢትዮጵያ ሰንደቅ ዓላማ, ye-Ityoppya Sendeq Alama) was adopted
on 31 October 1996. It conforms to the specifications set forth in Article 3 of
the 1995 Constitution of Ethiopia. However, the diameter of the central disc is
increased from that of the flag used from 6 February to 31 October 1996. The
three traditional colours of green, yellow and red date back to Iyasu V
(reigned 1913–1916). The current flag and emblem were adopted after the defeat
of Ethiopia's Marxist Derg regime (in power from 1974 to 1987). The emblem is
intended to represent both the diversity and unity of the country. Blue
represents peace, the star represents diversity and unity, and the sun's rays
symbolise prosperity. The green recalls the land, yellow stands for peace and
hope, and red is symbolic of strength.
