DID YOU KNOW ETHIOPIAN NATIONAL FLAG IS THE OLDEST IN AFRICA!

Описание: 🇪🇹 Ever wondered why most African countries have the same colours on their flags?
Well, here’s why: it all started during the scramble for Africa, Ethiopia was the only African country that retained its sovereignty as a recognized independent country. When other African nations received their independence following World War II, many of them adopted the colours of Ethiopia's flag, the country drew the admiration of many newly independent states in Africa and its capital Addis Ababa became the location of several international organizations focused on Africa including the african union(AU) headquarters. The first to emulate Ethopia's green-yellow-red tricolor was Ghana in 1957, which flipped the colors and added a black star to represent the people, designed by Theodosia Okoh. 13 other african countries did the same thing upon their independence.
