The Guinea flag: work, justice and solidarity
Guinea's flag is three equal vertical stripes of red, yellow and green. The colours are matched to the national motto, Travail, Justice, Solidarité: red for work and the blood of the martyrs, yellow for justice and the sun, and green for solidarity and the country's vegetation. Guinea was the first French colony in Africa to reject the French Community, voting no in the 1958 referendum and becoming independent on 2 October 1958. Its pan-African colours were inspired by the flag of Ghana, independent a year earlier. The flag is the mirror image of Mali's, which reads green, yellow, red. Our Guinea flag has red at the hoist, as it should.
Independence Day and Guinean football
Independence Day on 2 October is the national holiday. Guinea is rich in bauxite and is the source of several of West Africa's great rivers, including the Niger, which earns it the nickname the water tower of West Africa. The national team, Syli Nationale, has produced Premier League players such as Naby Keïta. Guinean families and students in the UK fly the flag on 2 October and for Africa Cup of Nations matches.
Sizes, grades and fittings
Guinea flags come in 20x12in, 3ft x 2ft, 5ft x 3ft and 8ft x 5ft from £6.99. The bold stripes look strong at any size, from the 20x12in up to the 8ft x 5ft. For indoor or short-term use Flagtex, a lightweight printed polyester, is the budget choice; for outside, DuraFlag, a thicker knitted polyester, lasts longer and can be ordered with eyelets, clips or rope and toggle.
