Republic of Benin (1967)

The flag of the Republic of Benin, a short lived unrecognized state that existed during Nigerian Civil War (1967–1970). The Republic of Benin was a puppet state of Biafra. The flag consists of two horizontal stripes, the black covers 2/3 of the background, and the green covers 1/3 of the background. In the center, there is a golden rising sun, which is almost exactly the same as on the Biafra flag.
