TOGO ~ Flag ~

Pretty flag view from the FOTW postcard series... Togo is one of the smallest countries in all of Africa... the colors of the flag are the same as those utilized by the pan-African movement, a political ideology designed to unite all African countries... the current flag of Togo was adopted in 1960, the day after this country gained its independence from France... the 5 stripes that make up the background are representative of the 5 political regions... the golden yellow color symbolizes the subsistence agricultural work performed by the residents of Togo, while the green is represents the agricultural produce... the red stands for love, although some sources claim it represents the blood shed during the fight for independence... finally, the white star symbolizes hope and purity... Thanks a lot Boyana!!【ツ】
