Africa is the second-largest continent and home to 54 sovereign nations, each with a flag that tells a story of independence, struggle, and cultural pride. After the wave of decolonization that swept the continent in the 1950s and 1960s, dozens of new countries chose flags that broke decisively from their colonial pasts.
The pan-African colors — red, gold, and green — adopted from the flag of Ethiopia (Africa's only nation to resist European colonization) and popularized by Marcus Garvey, appear across the continent: from Senegal and Mali in the west to Cameroon, Ghana, and Guinea. Religious symbols are equally meaningful: crescent moons mark the flags of North Africa in Algeria, Tunisia, and Mauritania, while emblems of independence movements adorn Mozambique (the only national flag in the world featuring a modern firearm) and Kenya's shield and spears.
From the rainbow nation of South Africa to ancient kingdoms like Eswatini and Lesotho, every African flag captures the continent's rich tapestry. How many can you recognize on sight?
