The Flag History Inc And Chad Flag

By Frederic Blunt


The area around Lake Chad has been inhabited since at least 500 B.C.In the 8th century A.D., Berbers began migrating to the area. Islam arrived in 1085, and by the 16th century a trio of rival kingdoms flourished: the Kanem-Bornu, Baguirmi, and Ouaddaï. During the years 1883-1893, all three kingdoms came under the rule of the Sudanese conqueror Rabih al-Zubayr. In 1900, Rabih was overthrown by the French, who absorbed these kingdoms into the colony of French Equatorial Africa, as part of Ubangi-Shari (now the Central African Republic), in 1913. In 1946, the territory, now known as Chad, became an autonomous republic within the French Community.

When independence was granted in 1960, a southerner became Chad’s first head of state. Unfortunately, President François Tombalbaye was not the best choice. By arresting opposition leaders and banning political parties, he provoked a series of conspiracies in the Muslim north, the violent repression of which quickly escalated into full-blown guerrilla war.

The flag of Chad is the flag of the fifth largest country in Africa. Because to archeological findings thereof the oldest known human remains, of a gentleman now called Abel, it is thought that Chad may be one of the first areas with human inhabitants.

The banner that flies over this nation is a tricolor banner of blue, yellow, and red equivalent estimated vertical standards. The blue-yellow-red hues used as a part of the banner of Chad gives a blend of their recorded past. Chad's 1962 constitution alludes to the banner of Chad's hues being blue, gold, and red.

The meaning of the blue color is the sky, hope, agriculture, and the waters in the south part of the country. The yellow, or gold, color on the flag of Chad represents the sun, and the arid desert, which is in the northern part of the country. The red color on the flag of Chad represents the country's hope for progress, unity, and sacrifice.

The Chad Air Force uses a roundel which has a blue circle on the inside. It is encompassed by a band of yellow and after that a band of red, which are equivalent in width. The roundel was initially used as a part of the 1960's. The Flag Company Inc spent significant time in banner outlines offered an extraordinary version of decals and banners to remember the historical backdrop of Chad banner for future generations.
