History of The Flag of Gabon
Gabon's flag was officially adopted on August 9, 1960, shortly after the country gained independence from France on August 17, 1960. The flag's colors are traditional Pan-African colors, representing African independence and unity. However, the specific arrangement and symbolism of the colors are unique to Gabon. Since its adoption, the flag has remained unchanged and serves as a symbol of national pride, sovereignty, and the natural beauty of Gabon.
