Similar to the Texas flag, the flag of Benin consists of a large green field that runs the hoist with a yellow and red band running horizontally on the fly end; it was adopted in 1959 to replace the French tricolors. When the People’s Republic of Benin was established in 1975 the flag was modified into a symbol of the country’s socialist beliefs, it had a green field with a red five-pointed star in the canton. This Benin flag was utilized until the regime collapsed in 1990, coinciding with the Autumn of Nations. The pre-1975 flag was quickly restored soon after. The flag carries many significant cultural, political, and regional meanings. Green in the flag symbolizes the hope of a new democracy while the red represents the courage of the ancestors, and the yellow is for the treasures of the nation. On a continental level, the yellow, red, and green signifies the Pan-African movement; during the decolonization period, the African Democratic Rally utilized these colors. The AFD was a political party representing the interests of French West Africa in the National Assembly of France. The colors were also used to honor the Ethiopian flag. Ethiopia is the oldest independent country in Africa and the only other nation to remain independent during the “Scramble for Africa”, many of the countries that were a part of the French West Africa utilize these colors for many of the same reasons.
