As I said the flag of a country is used for its identity. I am trying to say that if a country does not have a flag it does not really show its sovereignty or possess an identity which others can see and know. To me I don't think a country without a flag is independent.
A place like Nigeria now can be identified because it has its objects for identity. In Nigeria these are the objects of identity; The Nigerian Flag, The Coat of Arms, etc. Cameroon also posses their various object of identity. But today I will be looking at the Cameroon flag, what it signifies? and also refer its signs to the state of the country.
The green compartment represents the forest in the southern parts of Cameroon. Cameroon has thick forest in all parts but mostly in the southern parts. This is easily understandable so I don't need to emphasize more on this.
The red stripe or compartment represents Unity. If there is any country that does not possess unity then that country is as good as finished. Without unity there is no corporation and when there is no corporation there is no Peaceful Coexistence.
The Yellow stripe represents the sun and also some savanna regions in the country. Even from the article you will notice that most of it comprises of different natural creations by God or nature as non religious people might declare.
The national flag of Cameroon was adopted in its present form on 20 May 1975 after Cameroon became a unitary state. It is a vertical tricolour of green, red and yellow, with a five-pointed star in its center.
