Description from the seller
1. Central African Republic – National flag
The flag was adopted on 1 December 1958 and designed by Barthélemy Boganda, the country’s first prime minister. The design combines the French colors with the Pan-African colors and symbolizes the unity between Africa and France. The red vertical stripe stands for unity and the sacrifices for freedom.
Size: 285 x 135 cm
2. Gabon – National flag
The flag of Gabon was originally designed in 1959, during the transition to self-government under French administration. On 9 August 1960 the current design was adopted, shortly before France’s independence on 17 August 1960. The three horizontal bands stand for natural wealth, the equator and the Atlantic Ocean.
Size: 145 x 85 cm
3. Cameroon – National flag
The flag of Cameroon was adopted in its original tricolor form in 1957. After independence in 1960 and the unification with former British Cameroon, the design was modified with two stars. On 20 May 1975 the current version with one golden star was officially introduced, as a symbol of national unity.
Size: 155 x 95 cm
4. Congo-Brazzaville – National flag
