When French- and British-administered Cameroon joined as a federation in 1961, two stars were added to the green band. On 20 May 1975, after the federation became a unitary state, they were replaced by a single star in the center. Green stands for the forests of the south, yellow for the savanna and sun of the north, and red for the unity that joins them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFlag Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdopted:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1957; current form 20 May 1975\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOfficial proportions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2:3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColors:\u003c\/strong\u003e green, red, yellow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEmblem:\u003c\/strong\u003e the star of unity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVexillographer's Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWest Africa is full of close relatives.
