what does the colors of my flag means?

Green is, for Muslims, the color of the Prophet's flag; for Christians, it is the symbol of hope; for Animists, it is symbol of fecundity. Gold [yellow] is the symbol of wealth; it represents the product of work, for a nation whose main priority is the progress of economy, which will allow the increase of the cultural level, the second national priority. Gold is also the color of Arts and Literature, as well as of Intellect. Red recalls the color of blood, therefore color of life and the sacrifice accepted by the nation, and also of the strong determination to fight against underdevelopment. The star is a frequent element in the Black African symbolism. The five branches of the star represent the opening of Senegal to the five continents. The star represents also the sky and therefore the spiritual values of the nation. The green color of the star mostly symbolizes hope brought by the recent independence of the Republic of Senegal.
