The Flag Company Inc And Chad Flag

By Frederic Blunt


The area around Lake Chad has been inhabited since at least 500 B.C.In the 8th century A.D., Berbers began migrating to the area. Islam arrived in 1085, and by the 16th century a trio of rival kingdoms flourished: the Kanem-Bornu, Baguirmi, and Ouaddaƃ¯. During the years 1883-1893, all three kingdoms came under the rule of the Sudanese conqueror Rabih al-Zubayr. In 1900, Rabih was overthrown by the French, who absorbed these kingdoms into the colony of French Equatorial Africa, as part of Ubangi-Shari (now the Central African Republic), in 1913. In 1946, the territory, now known as Chad, became an autonomous republic within the French Community.

In the late 18th century the French colonists settled in Chad and overthrew the Rabah dynasty that was established in the country of Chad. The French colonizers ruled the country of Chad till the mid-nineteenth century and Chad received its actual independence on 11th August in the year of 1960. The rule of the native Chad people where various Chad nationalists struggled to consolidate the regions of Chad into one nation started soon after. Thus, history of Chad is marked with a great deal of struggles for independence, which in a way did not end with the French abandoning the country of Chad.

The banner of Chad is the banner of the fifth biggest nation in Africa. Since to archeological discoveries human remains, of a man now called Abel, it is felt that Chad might be one of the main ranges with human occupants.

The banner that flies over this nation is a tricolor banner of blue, yellow, and red equivalent estimated vertical standards. The blue-yellow-red hues used as a part of the banner of Chad gives a blend of their recorded past. Chad's 1962 constitution alludes to the banner of Chad's hues being blue, gold, and red.

The importance of the blue shading is the sky, trust, farming, and the waters in the south part of the nation. The yellow, or gold, shading on the banner of Chad speaks of the sun, and the dry desert, which is in the northern part of the nation. The red shading on the banner of Chad speaks of the nation's promise for advancement, solidarity, and penance.

The Chad Air Force uses a roundel which has a blue circle in the center. It is surrounded by a band of yellow and then a band of red, which are equal in width. The roundel was first used in the 1960's. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of Chad flag for the future.
