Republic of Congo ~The African Union Flag - FOTW ~

... Great flag card sent from the Republic of Congo (Congo-Brazzaville)... the current flag of the African Union was adopted in 2010... a dark green map of the African continent, plus the Sinai Peninsula and offshore islands, on a white sun, surrounded by a circle of 55 5-pointed gold (yellow) stars, on a dark green field.... the color green symbolizes African hopes and aspiration to unity... the color gold stands for African wealth and bright future... the color white represents the purity of Africa's desire to have genuine friends throughout the world... Thanks a lot Alena!(✿◠‿◠)
