Everybody welcome back to flag fan Friday. Hope you liked the new cher episode
So as you know this department I talk about the things that I made a few small mistakes on or the things that didn't quite
Make it into the video for one. I believe we got the wrong image of Ishmael era guy Allison a sorry
It's just I googled it and I figured that was him, but it wasn't I've never I've never seen the guy. Sorry
I accidentally roll phone say instead of all say in the animation
It says less than 25% and not greater than 25% and in the history part we accidentally used the francophone map
Not the map of French West Africa. Sorry about that
But in the video when I said the tallest peak could be found in one of the mountain chains
I forgot to say it was the I err mountains
I mean we caught it in the animation
but I forgot to say it actually while recording my voice otherwise
User has a lot of other cool spots that I didn't mention. There's like the extinct caldera of Audra cow
We also forgot to mention that nature does have some oil reserves
They've just tapped into about 300 million barrels of fuel mostly in crude oil also their national sports
Up north. Mostly it's horse and camel racing huge equestrian culture, especially in the Sahel region
also
I forgot to talk about sword roll or loot date or adicional or cocuwa in house' it's the traditional wrestling
But they do it's very popular throughout the entire country
And also I was told if you go to new share do not eat in the streets
It's considered very kind of trashy and rude. All right, so that's just about it. In the meantime. Let's move on to the flag
so without further ado you
Okay, not gonna lie knees you think I'm gonna have to add it to my travel list it's whenever I research a country
I always like get this bird. So like maybe I should just buy a flight to kick and go there this one really
Hit me hard, man
I mean not always I have a lot of cool secret hidden things in it, but it's like very few tourists
I love that
Anyway, the flag. The flag is a horizontal tricolour of orange white and green bands with an orange disc in the center
The flag is often confused for the flag of India from a distance
but just keep in mind that the ratio is supposed to be narrower the orange coloured darker and the orange disc in the middle is
Obviously not a blue spoked wheel in the center according to common tradition the orange represents the northern Sahara and Sahel
regions of the country which make up a huge chunk of the land the white stands for purity and
Some say the neva river as well and finally the green at the bottom stands for hope and the fertile regions of the southern part
of the country the orange disc in the center is supposed to stand for the Sun or
Independence now prior to this they didn't have a national flag
There were just a territory in the larger entity of French West Africa. So they just kind of used the French flag
It is important to note though that separate kingdoms and empires that had land that are in the modern-day boundaries of Nazaire
Some of them actually did have their own flags the Sokoto Caliphate, which was mostly in Nigeria
But also had some land in each year
They used just a flat solid green banner and the condom bought a new empire which was in the East mostly in Chad
But had a little bit Indonesia as well. They used this flag with a palm tree on it
Yeah for the most part throughout its history in each era was just split amongst many people groups and they weren't really unified until after
independence from the French Empire
And yeah
So that brings us to the coat-of-arms the coat-of-arms
contains a white and gold shield in the center with four symbols on it the first being a house of spear with a pair of
cross Tuareg swords
Representing the two parts of the culture that make up the country as well as defense of the nation on the right three pearl millet
Heads the most commonly grown grain representing agriculture in the bottom Center a zebu head
symbolizing the livestock and hurting culture and
Finally the Sun in the middle on the sides of the shields are four draped flags of Nazaire at the bottom lies a banner reading
Of the public Donita and of course prior to this they didn't really have any other coat of arms
Although they do sometimes kind of switch up the colors of the shield a little bit like the instead of gold
It might be black. But yeah, either way that's pretty much all there is to your symbolism
So with that being done and said, you know what time it is it is time for Jena a growth fanmail time
