Guinean flag
The national flag of Guinea was adopted on November 10, 1958. It consists of three vertical stripes of the same size, red (closest to the mast), yellow (central) and green.
These are the same colors that appear on the flags of Ethiopia and Ghana, which are also those of the pan-African movement.
Red was adopted in honor of those who died in the fight against colonialism. It is the color associated with industry and farm workers, which is why it is also associated with the term “Work” in the national motto. Yellow is the symbol of Guinean gold and the African sun. The sun is a source of energy that gives its light equally to all men. In this way, yellow is the color that is related to the term “Justice” of the motto. Green represents the country's forests and agriculture. It is the color that symbolizes the last word of the motto: “Solidarity”
