description

Ivory Coast set national flag

The national flag consists of three vertical stripes of equal size: orange on the left, white in the middle and green on the right.

This color interpretation is best known: orange stands for the savannahs in the north of the country, green for the forests of the southern coastal areas, while white is supposed to symbolize the unity between north and south.

The President's website read the following statement: “Orange is the color of the land, rich and generous, the meaning of our struggle, the blood of a young people fighting for their liberation. White stands for peace, peace with justice. Green stands for hope and the certainty of a better future. "

A third explanation is as follows: orange for the spirit of national development, white for peace and purity and green for hope for the future thanks to the utilization of natural resources.
