a) Current flag

Red, Gold, and Green are the colors of the "People's Emperors" of the Mawuni dinasty. Symbolism is the same as the symbolism of the flag during the Mawuni era. (see below).

In the first part of this period a slightly altered imperial standard of the Bin Mounir dinasty. A small Mauretaniean flag was put in the upper hoist side to siginfy Mauretanie's sovereignity over Afrazah. Interestingly enough, during the long period of anarchy in the 90s, various warlords have continued to use this flag, probably in an attempt to present themselves as the representatives of the Bin Mounir government.

3. Second imperial age (226-268)

a) 2nd of July 226 - N/A June 268

This is the imperial ensign of the Bin Mounir dinasty. Following the July compromise, Afrazah was allowed to use its own flag, so the dinastic standard came into use.

Red, Gold, and Green are the colors of the "People's Emperors" of the Mawuni dinasty. Red stands for might, Gold for the lifegiving Sun and Green for hope.

6. First imperial age (175 BP -123)

The traditional symbol of the Bin Mounir dinasty is the Elephant, as found on numerous monuments from this time. Towards the end of the period, however, another symbol, cross with a crescent increasingly began to be used, especially in the army. One of the flags which survived from this period is the flag which flew over the imperial palace in Meda'a. On it, there was an elephant below a crescent and a cross on a blue field.

7. Early period (prehistory to 175 BP)

No flags of pre-empire states survived to this date. However, common symbol found on the coins of the Azikwe confederacy is the five-pointed star.
