Notes

  1. ^ The original flag of Cameroon was a simple tricolor. Upon unification with Southern Cameroons, two stars were added to the flag, with one star for the Francophone part of the country and one for the Anglophone regions. Following the abolition of the federation, this design was dropped in favor of a single-star flag.
