Flag of Cape Verde

The national Flag of Cape Verde was adopted on September 22, 1992 and symbolized a break in relations with Guinea-Bissau, with whom Cape Verde was to unite. The stars on the flag represent the main islands of the nation that is a chain of islands off the coast of Africa. The blue color represents the ocean and the sky. The band of white and red represents the road toward the construction of the nation, and the colors stand for peace (white) and effort (red).
