About the flag

The Album 2000 [pay00] says:

1. National Flag. [CSW/CSW] 1:2
Green-yellow-green triband with red triangle next to hoist and two black five-pointed stars in the yellow stripe.
Željko Heimer, 09 Jan 2003

Flag adopted on 5 November 1975, coat of arms adopted 1977.
Nozomi Kariyasu, Aug 1998

The flag of the republic, although in the pan-African colours, is derived from that of the Liberation Movement, whose flag was adopted in 1972. The only difference is that the Liberation Movement flag had equal horizontal stripes.
Željko Heimer, 27 Nov 2000, quoting [cra90f]
