The ABCs of the flag of Guyana

Among all flags, the French Guyana flag is composed of three colours: green, yellow and red: two yellow (bottom left) and green (top right) triangles with a red five-pointed star in the centre. This civil flag of 2/3 proportions is used during public demonstrations in French Guiana.

The Guyanese colours have a very particular meaning :

The green colour is a symbolism of the country's green forest and all its unique biodiversity: more than 5500 plant species, 700 bird species, 177 mammal species and 500 fish species. In fact, did you know that French Guiana is home to more than 90% of France's vertebrate fauna and vascular plant?

The yellow colour represents the richness of the Guyanese territory (dense forest, natural reserves, hydrocarbons, mining, gold). The red star represents both blood and socialism.

This flag was born from the African independence movement and was created by Guyanese students from Paris around 1960. It was first adopted by the Union of Guyanese Workers in 1967 at a congress.

It was not until 2010 that the General Council of Guyana unanimously officialized the use of this flag and it was also following a referendum for the autonomy of Guyana that this flag was put into effect (referendum that resulted in a "no" vote by the Guyanese, while the "unfortunate" General Council had worked for the "yes" vote of the population). It has been used jointly by the institutional authorities with the French flag and the flag of the European Union. In 2016, the merger of the General and Regional Council of Guyana did not reiterate the "de jure" use of this regional symbol.

However, since there was no official replacement, today it is this popular regional civil flag that the Guyanese population flies for various demonstrations, to display on houses or during rallies, as we saw during the 2017 social movement in Guyana.

This flag remains a privileged symbol of pride for the entire Guyanese people!
