The flag colors fit

Wouldn't that be black instead of yellow/gold for the Pan-African colors?

A lot of them got these colors from the flag of Ethiopia 🇪🇹, which was the only African nation to resist European colonialism, and so was a big source of inspiration for people who fought for African liberation
