The Flag of Chad

Flag Detail

Three vertical stripes—blue, yellow, and red—on Chad's flag define it. The chosen design from 1959 reflected the cultural variety and ties to the history of the nation. The clear skies and hope, grey; the sun and desert, yellow; and the sacrifices and unity of the people, red. The tricolour format is inspired by that of the French flag, representing Chad's colonial history but also including Chad's distinct identity as an independent nation. The five-pointed golden star in the heart of the flag represents the union and progress under a common destiny of all the people of Chad.
