Biafra Flag Design and Historical Background

The flag consists of three equal horizontal stripes in red, black and green. A golden rising sun with eleven rays appears in the centre of the black stripe. The design was used by the Republic of Biafra, which existed in southeastern Nigeria from 1967 to 1970.

The colours were influenced by the Pan African colour tradition and the symbols of Nigeria’s former Eastern Region. The eleven rays of the golden sun represented the eleven provinces of Biafra.

The flag is made from durable 115 g/m² polyester. Reinforced edges and double stitched seams provide additional strength, while two rust resistant brass grommets make installation simple and convenient.
