4. The flag of Cameroon features three vertical bands and a star in the middle band. What colour does not appear on the Cameroon flag?
From Quiz Cameroon- Africa in Miniature
Answer:
Black
The vertical band on the left is green, in the middle is red and to the right is gold. In the middle of the red band is a five-pointed golden star. The red band and the gold star represent unity, the yellow represents the sun, happiness and the savannas, and the green represents the forests and hope. When Cameroon became a unitary state on the May 20, 1975 they adopted the flag based on the tricolour design of the French flag. After Ethiopia, Cameroon was the second country to use green, red and gold on its flag (the traditional Pan-African colours).
Cameroon's motto is "Paix - Travail - Patrie", French for "Peace - Work- Fatherland". The national anthem is "Ô Cameroun, Berceau de nos Ancêtres", French for "O Cameroon, Cradle of our Forefathers".
