Guinea-Bissau

africapan-africanstar

Adopted in 1973 during the independence struggle against Portugal. The red vertical stripe with a black star represents African struggle and unity, while the yellow and green horizontal stripes symbolize the savanna and forests.

Guinea-Bissau's flag was inspired by Ghana's flag, and the black star is a direct reference to the pan-African movement.

Adopted: 1973
