The Gambia, The Republic of The Gambia

Description of the flag
Horizontally divided flag with stripes top to bottom red, white, blue, white, green in ratio 6:1:4:1:6.
Zeljko Heimer, 06 Oct 2001

Dorling-Kindersley [udk97] says this was adopted on 18 February 1965 and Smith [smi76] is more precise, saying «officially hoisted on 18 February 1965», which may (or not) mean that the flag had been use before.

These symbols [flag and arms] were not modified during the short-lived Senegambian Federation (1981-1989). Remember that Gambia is enclaved within Senegal. The distance between both north and south borders never exceeds 25 km.

Dorling-Kindersley Pocket Book (1998) [udk97] gives as symbolism of the colours: Green is said to represent forest and red savannah.
Ivan Sache, 06 Oct 2001

Politikens Flagbook, 2000 [udk98a], has for the colours (translated):

Red symbolizes the savannah’s grass plains and the sun; the blue stripe stands for the river Gambia; green symbolizes the forests as well as agriculture.
But in the text it says (translated):
The blue stripe symbolizes the river Gambia, which flows between the green forest and the red savannah. White stands for unity and peace.
Peter Hans van den Muijzenberg, 07 Oct 2001

According to M. Tallocci [tal93], the white fimbriations represent peace and purity.
Ivan Sache, 04 Oct 1996

In some sources, the interpretation of the colours is slightly different for the coat of arms.
