CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC

The flag of the Central African Republic was adopted on December 1, 1958. It was designed by Barthélemy Boganda, the first president of the autonomous territory of Oubangui-Chari, who believed that "France and Africa must march together". Thus he combined the red, white, blue of the French tricolour and the Pan-African colors red, green and yellow. Overall, this flag represents their desire for unity among the people of the world, but especially between people in Africa.
