Tips for recognizing African flags

Start with color families. Green, yellow and red point to the Pan-African group: Ethiopia, Ghana (with a black star), Senegal (green star), Mali, Guinea, Cameroon and Benin. Then look at the order of the bands, since Mali and Guinea reverse each other.

Red, white and black tricolors in the north suggest Egypt (golden eagle), Sudan (green triangle) or Libya. A crescent and star means Algeria, Tunisia, Mauritania or Morocco's pentagram. Watch for twins: Chad and Romania, and Niger and India. Unusual emblems make the easy ones: a rifle for Mozambique, a shield for Kenya. For a full study guide, see the African flags.
