Wiki:
During the 8th African Union Summit which took place in
Addis Ababa on 29 and 30 January 2007, the Heads of State and Government
decided to launch a competition for the selection of a new flag for the Union.
They prescribed a green background for the flag symbolizing hope of Africa and
stars to represent Member States.
Pursuant to this decision, the Muammar Gaddafi-led African
Union Commission (AUC) organized a competition for the selection of a new flag
for the African Union. The AUC received a total of 106 entries proposed by
citizens of 19 African countries and 2 from the Diaspora. The proposals were
then examined by a panel of experts put in place by the African Union
Commission and selected from the five African regions for short listing
according to the main directions given by the Heads of State and Government.
The winning design was created by Yadesa Bojia, an Ethiopian-born American artist
and graphic designer.
The flag contains a green background symbolizing the hope of
Africa and 53 gold stars to represent the Member States. However, South Sudan
became the 54th member state on 27 July 2011, and Morocco rejoined in January
2017, bringing the total to 55.
