The national flag of Cameroon was officially adopted on May 20, 1975, after Cameroon became a unitary state. The flag consists of three vertical stripes - the left stripe is green; the middle one is red; and the right stripe is yellow.
In the middle of the flag and red stripe is a five-pointed yellow star. The star is also known as the 'star of unity'; and the background color red of the star is also a representation of unity.
