Translated from municipal
web site:
"Green means the aspiration of all, white the peace
emanating from Ariguaní and red the blood shed by the natives to
become free."
Ivan Sache, 11 August 2008
The municipal website describes now a completely different flag, with a much more
detailed description - either the flag was changed or the previous version
was erroneous.
The municipality of Ariguaní (31,047 inhabitants in 2005) is located
in central Magdalena Department. The capital and single town of the
municipality is El Difícil (18,313 inh.).
The municipality of Ariguaní (in native language, Clearstream) was
established by Decree No. 14bis of 30 November 1966, seceding from
Plato, and inaugurated on 14 March 1967. El Difícil was established on
14 September 1901, during the Thousand Day's War, the civil armed
conflict that opposed in 1899-1902 the Conservative and the Liberal
parties. Expelled from the mountains by the Liberals, several
Conservatives founded a new village in a place of difficult, protected
access; the odd name of the place is said to have been coined by
Toribio Garizao de Oro,
The flag of Ariguaní, designed by Juan Mugno Molina and Yasser Lajud
Tobías, is prescribed by Municipal Decree No. 3 of 22 May 2003.
The flag is horizontally divided white-green-red (2:1:1). A yellow
isosceles triangle is placed along the hoist. six white stars are
placed long the two sides of he triangle opposed to the hoist.
White represents peace. Green represents hope in agriculture and
cattle-breeding as a regional source of income. Red recalls the origin
of the people of Ariguaní and the historical event of the Thousand
Day's War.
The yellow triangle symbolizes the resources of Ariguaní, its warm
climate and the purity of the people. The six stars represent the six
settlements forming the municipality (Ariguaní, Alejandría, El Carmen de
Ariguaní, Pueblo Nuevo, San José de Ariguaní and Vadeloca).
