The former Dutch Guyana became independent in 1975. Then a new
flag was chosen to replace the colonial emblem in use since
1959. The present flag displays the colors of the three main
political parties but they also have their own meanin : green
for fertility, white for justice & freedom, red for renewal.
The yello star stands for sacrifice, unity & hope in the new
State. The present pattern was adopted on 25 NOVEMBER 1975.
