The national
flag of the Central African Republic was adopted on the 1st of
December 1958, following the nation’s gaining of independence from France. The
flag was designed by the prime minister at the time Barthélemy Boganda. The
flag was primarily designed as a combination between the colours of the French
flag and the traditional pan-African colours, representing the importance of
embracing colonial history and remaining united with its colonisers. This is
portrayed through four horizontal bands, which are blue, white, green and
yellow, from top to bottom. As well as a central red vertical stripe. Other
than being the French and pan-African colours, they also have additional
meanings, with the red symbolising the blood that is shared between all of
humankind. Blue portrays freedom and the sky, and white depicts purity. The colours
of green and yellow symbolise the lush rainforests and dry savannah’s that
cover the nation, respectively. Finally, the small yellow five-point star in
the top left corner of the flag depicts the unity between its people and their
desire for the nation’s progress.
