The national '''flag of [[Benin]]''' was adopted in 1959. It was changed upon the accession of the [[Marxism|Marxist]] regime in 1975, but upon the latter's fall the old design was reintroduced on August 1, 1990. The colours are the traditional [[Pan-African colours]] : [[green]] symbolizes [[hope]], [[yellow]] symbolizes [[wealth]] and [[red]] symbolizes [[courage]].<br />
