African Union
internationalgreengoldstars
The African Union flag features a dark green background with a gold map of Africa at its centre, surrounded by a circle of 55 white stars representing the member states. The green symbolises African hope and aspirations, the gold represents the continent's wealth, and the white stars stand for the member states.
The current AU flag replaced an earlier design in 2010. The 55 stars represent all 55 member states, making the African Union one of the few organisations to include every country on its continent.
Adopted: 2010
