When most African countries started to gain independence from their colonial powers in 1960's, they got inspiration to their country flags from Ethiopian flag - the only country in Africa, which was not colonized at the end of 19th century. That's why there are so many flags with green, yellow and red colors.

Liberia was created for freed slaves from North America, that's why the flag is so similar to the United States.

Knew only South Africa and Liberia. Gawsh, I hate flags. (Studied them and took the quiz again and scored 34.) There are some really beautiful flags here. Love Seychelles and Swaziland - I think I'll remember those next time this is featured, as well as Madagascar which now makes me think of a large island separated from the rest.

Eswatini may be a type of inn, but the new name of the country is eSwatini, and many are surly about the name change.

They're brothers and sisters, and the colours represent the same strengths and struggles.

I think it's inspiring that they express their unity.

I always used to forget it as well, so I made a quiz comparing it to my (adopted) country:

Gabon or Peru?

It was for me mostly, but there some interesting comparisons between these two west coast nations!
