Flag Detail

In honour of the national epic hero Sosso Djeliko Budget, Sandakan, Guinea's flag is red; the green colour represents the verdant soil that divides the country into two parts; and the customary yellow colour represents the sovereign. Every colour stripe is divided by a thin white line. Right in the middle of the flag is an open book crossed by a golden sword. The wealth of minerals corresponds with the golden hue; the crimson colour marks the struggle for independence. The epithet "green" speaks to Guinea's agricultural and resource base. Symbols representing knowledge, analysis, the legal system, and justice are the book and the blade.
