Cameroon vs Mali flag
How to tell them apart
The flags of Cameroon and Mali are both pan-African vertical tricolours of green, yellow and red, so they’re easy to mix up at a glance. This is what gives each one away:
- Cameroon's centre band is red; Mali's is yellow. Cameroon runs green, red, yellow from the hoist.
- Cameroon has a yellow star in its red band; Mali's flag is plain.
