Biafra Flag! The Meaning By Carol Munday by GENTLENNAJI(m): 12:04pm On Aug 09, 2015 |
The Flag was created by the Biafran Govt and raised 30 May 1967 a flag of red, black and green, horizontally, with a rising sun from the Coat of Arms (of the old Eastern Province) in gold in the centre. The design and colours are based on the Pan-African flag designed by Marcus Garvey's Union. The eleven rays of the sun represented the eleven provinces of Biafra. The lowest rays were usually more or less horizontal and the remaining rays spread evenly. The rays were normally long and slender, and usually slightly wavy. The three Pan-African colors on the flag represent: Red: the blood that unites all people of Black African ancestry, and shed for liberation; Black: black people whose existence as a nation, though not a nation-state, is affirmed by the existence of the flag; and Green: the abundant natural wealth of Africa. 6 Likes 1 Share

The Biafrans really took time to design this sexy flag. Never knew the eleven rays of the sun represented the provinces of the defunct nation. 3 Likes |
