The story of this flag

The national flag of Guinea-Bissau was adopted on the day Guinea-Bissau proclaimed its independence from Portugal on 24 September 1973. It is almost identical to the flag of the African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde, the country's dominant party and previously sole ruling party.
