Coat of arms Coming soon

São Tomé and Príncipe's flag has green, yellow and green horizontal bands with a red triangle at the hoist and two black stars on the yellow band. The Pan-African colours signal solidarity, with green for vegetation, yellow for the cocoa harvest and sun, and red for the independence struggle. The two black stars represent the nation's two main islands.
