Central African Republic Flag Meaning & History
The national flag of the Central African Republic was designed by Barthélemy Boganda, who would later be the first president of the country. It was adopted on December 1, 1958, the same date that the nation’s name was changed from Ubangi-Shari.
The four horizontal stripes represent the nations that were French colonies in Equatorial Africa, including Gabon, the Republic of the Congo, and Chad, in addition to the Central African Republic. The vertical red line stands for the blood shed by citizens protecting their country and continent.
