The colors of the Egyptian flag are traditional Pan-Arabic colors. The red stripe refers to the period before the 1952 revolution; which brought a group of army officers to power after deposing King Farouk, the King of Egypt. This period was characterized by the struggle against British occupation of the country. The white symbolizes the revolution which ended the monarchy but without bloodshed. The color black symbolizes the end of the oppression of the Egyptian people at the hands of the Monarchy and British colonialism.

I dunno what the hell is that tiny EAGLE doing in the middle of the flag , but , on the other hand , i think it means : " Power"
And as for the coulours :
*Black=times of war.
*White=times of peace.
*Red=The blood of soldiers who died in war.
The flag is still creepy though ! :)
