The Guinea Bissau flag is composed of two horizontal green and yellow stripes of equal size and a red vertical column with a black star placed at its center. The colors in the flag of Guinea Bissau are inspired by the pan African spirit. The proportion of the flag is 1:2. The yellow color of the Guinea Bissau flag symbolizes sun and work and the green band stands for hope and lush green foliage of the country. The red horizontal strip signifies the long drawn bloody battle for independence and black five pointed star is a sign for African unity.
