Republic of the Congo Flag
The Republic of the Congo's national flag is a horizontal tricolor of yellow, green, and red. A diagonal band extends from the lower hoist-side corner of the flag, with a green upper triangle and a red lower triangle. The flag was adopted in 1959, replacing the French Tricolor, and served as the flag of the Republic of the Congo until 1970, when it was replaced by the People's Republic of the Congo.
The flag was modified to a red field with the People's Republic coat of arms in the canton under the new rule. This version was in use until the regime's demise in 1991. When the new administration took power, it immediately reinstated the country's old pre-1970 flag as its national flag.
