SENEGAL ~ Flag ~

... First of two more fantastic African beauties💚... a pretty flag view from the FOTW series... although Senegal’s flag is relatively new it still contains a lot of important symbolism... the green, yellow, and red tricolors are the colors of the Pan-Africanist movement that represents unity amongst the African countries... the green five-pointed star is on the flag as a symbol of freedom and hope... adopted in 1960, it has been the flag of the Republic of Senegal since the country gained independence from France that year... Thanks a lot Gian Luca and Raffealla! (✿◠‿◠)

Senegal is the westernmost country of Africa. It is bounded by the Atlantic Ocean, Mauritania, Mali, Guinea and Guinea-Bissau. It owes its name to the Sénégal River that borders it to the east and north. Dakar is the capital and largest city.
