The Guinea flag was formally approved on September 24, 1973. Guinea Bissau Flag has black star is representative of African unity, yellow positions for the sun, green is hope, and red signifies the blood shed throughout the long struggle for liberation from Portugal.
The stripes and star resembled geologically to the western coastal region with its capital city, Bissau. Flag of Guinea Bissau has horizontal stripes in the outstanding part of the flag and their yellow and green colors roughly paralleled to the savannas of the north and the woods of the south.
The African (PAIGC) originates ready support in those Portuguese groups for its message of social and economic development through political revolution. In 1961 it approved a flag somewhat alike to those of the neighboring independent countries of Guinea and Ghana, which were then deliberating a future alliance of West African lands. To their pan-African red-yellow-green, the liberation movement for Guinea-Bissau supplements a black star on the winch stripe. That band and star resembled geographically to the western coastal region with its capital city, Bissau. The horizontal band in the enduring part of the flag and their yellow and green colors roughly linked to the savannas of the north and the forests of the south.
Yellow was understood as a sign of harvest and the fruits of effort, both in agriculture and otherwise. Green remembered the vast jungles and the agricultural lands, which offered a livelihood for the vast mainstream of citizens. The party flag also combined the initials PAIGC, omitted when freedom was proclaimed on September 24, 1973. Portugal did not identify Guinea-Bissau or its flag until after its own uprising in 1974. Cape Verde ultimately uncontrolled the Marxist politics of the PAIGC and altered its national flag, but Guinea-Bissau recalls the original design.
The flag landscapes the traditional Pan-African colors of gold, green, red, and Black Star of Africa. The flag's design is heavily prejudiced by the flag of Ghana. The colors have the similar meanings: specifically, the red and green, which stands for martyrs, and gold for mineral wealth.
