What the Colors Mean
Flag History
The gold star on blue dates all the way back to 1877 and the flag later flown over the Congo Free State, making it one of Africa's oldest flag motifs. Mobutu replaced it with Zaire's green flag and torch from 1971 to 1997; the 2006 constitution revived the 1963 star-and-diagonal design, lightening the field to sky blue for peace.
✨ Did you know?
The DR Congo has changed its flag six times since 1960, yet almost every version kept the same gold star first hoisted on the Congo River in the 1870s.
