Flag of Biafra
The flag of the former Republic of Biafra consists of a horizontal tricolour of red, black, and green, charged with a golden rising sun over a golden bar; the sun has eleven rays, representing the eleven provinces of Biafra.
It was also the inspiration for the flag of the short-lived Republic of Benin (consisting of the Biafran-occupied Mid-Western region).
It is based on the pan-African flag designed by Marcus Garvey's Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League[1] It should not be confused with the similar-looking flag of Malawi.
