Chad

About the flag

Correct answer: Chad. Its vertical blue–yellow–red tricolor, adopted in 1959, blends the French tricolor layout with Pan‑African colors. The hues are often interpreted as blue for the sky/hope, yellow for the desert and sun, and red for sacrifice and unity. Memory tip: Chad’s flag is famously almost identical to Romania’s, but Chad uses a darker (indigo) blue. The other options look very different—Cameroon has a yellow star in the center, Kenya features a Maasai shield and spears, and Libya’s current flag is red‑black‑green with a white crescent. If you spot a plain blue‑yellow‑red tricolor with no emblem and a deep blue stripe, think Chad.
