Fan Friday Hope you like the ivory Coast

Episode I still Can't believe That fact About Michael Jackson it Literally Happened and it also happened again in

2013 as his son was inaugurated as a prince via Skype I

Love Africa Only Stuff Like That Can Happen and it's not even Shocking Anyway Today

We covered the ivorian Flag in The Coat of Arms so Without Further Ado?

so before

We get Into this one Thing I really Wanted to talk about but I didn't have Time in the Ivory coast Episode was the legend?

Of Queen Polk who She was Queen of the bowels a people which Make Up one of the largest tribes in the Ivory Coast

According to legend A long Time Ago her and her People

Were Fleeing from the Ashanti People in Ghana as they Approached the kuhmo a river

They Were Told that in Order to cross you must Sacrifice your most prized Possession for Queen Puku that

Was her son so According to legend again she Had to Throw her son Into the River and When that happened

Hippos Rose Up and They, were Allowed to cross the river after the Crossing all she could Say

Was ballet which Means the Child is dead and that's how the tribe Gets Their Name yeah that and I

Also wanted to Talk About how a bichon House like this beautifully the most Developed Skyline in all

of west Africa Anyway

The Flag The flag of the ivory Coast is A vertical tricolour of orange White and Green yes it is the exact Mirror Image of

The Ireland Flag Adopted in

1959 The Flag was modeled After the french Tricolour and Later Inspired the flag of New Year the orange Stands for the Savannas Found in

The North of the Country the White stands for Peace and the green Stands for the Force of the south and Hope except for the

Time That They're under The french Empire This is the first and Only Flag that they have ever Had

Also it might be important to note that this Is One of the only Few Flags in The Region that Does not Utilize the pan

Africanist Movement Colors of Red Black and Green

Or red

Golden Green Some Say it might have to do with the fact that they Didn't want to Follow in the Lead of ghana who kind

of Started it all even Though they

Were inspired Off of Ethiopia but that's Just kind of a joke Maybe

Anyway Moving on the Coat of Arms the image Contains A

Green Shield With the Head of Their national Animal the African elephant Which was Symbolically Important for the ivory Trade that they used to be

A part of Hence Where They got Their Name Behind the Shield Lies a rising sun

Symbolizing the New Beginning on the Sides Two golden Palm Trees and A golden Banner Below With the Phrase the publique Dakota

Wow which i'm Sure you need no Translation?

For Now Unlike the Flag that have Had historical Variants of Their Coat of Arms the first one Depicted Many Flags on it with A

Blue Shield and Bubbly Trees the Second One and L

That wasn't Gold and The Final One With the Elephant That Became Gold done hey
