I was interested in understanding more about the flags of African nations, so I designed this map to feature the current flags of these countries, as well as supranational and international African flags. Each flag's design includes colours and symbolism inherent to its country's political, military and religious history. Many flags include the pan-Arab colours of black, white, green and red; some include the Islamic symbols of the crescent and star (e.g. Tunisia, Algeria, the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, Libya). I've acknowledged the flag of Somaliland (an 'unrecognised sovereign state') as well as the flag of the Republic of Cabinda, an unrecognised state which Angola considers it's 'Cabinda Province'. Available in various sizes (A1 to A4) and printed on high quality Hahnemuhle Photo Rag paper. Comes unframed. Printed and delivered by local US printers.

The versatility of Arab dresses is often the source of confusion. Let's look at the main elements of traditional Arab dress.
This is one of the main hubs of Western Africa, and a truly remarkable city. Here are 11 awesome things to do in Dakar, Senegal.
Kenya doesn't really have a national dress that characterizes traditions, ethnic tastes, culture and rituals of the whole country. Mostly that's because of more than 70 ethnic communities (Kikuyu, Luo, Luhya, Kamba, Kalenjin, Masai etc.) who live in Kenya. They all have some unique traditions in clothing. Though some clothes and fabrics can be called traditional for Kenya. Let's have a look.

Why was Africa so rapidly colonized? Many factors came into play that led to European nations to scramble to control territories in the late 1800s.
The Federal Republic of Nigeria is a not very large, though rather populous country of West Africa. About 150 million of people live in Nigeria. So, the clothing traditions of its population are various. Some of the traditional dresses in Nigeria root back to ancients tribes who lived here centuries ago, others were formed by the influence of British, Portuguese and French colonizers (19-20th centuries). Today many people in Nigeria use modern clothes, western style of attire. But still there are a lot of Nigerians who prefer to wear the traditional dress of Nigeria in everyday life.
