Gabon

The national flag of Gabon consists of three horizontal stripes in green, yellow and blue. Green symbolizes the country's vast rainforests and natural resources, yellow represents the Equator, the sun and prosperity, while blue reflects the Atlantic Ocean and the nation's maritime heritage.

The current flag of Gabon was officially adopted on August 9, 1960, shortly before the country gained independence from France on August 17, 1960. The design replaced the colonial flag and has since symbolized Gabon's sovereignty, unity and natural wealth.
