The flag’s colours carry significance with the yellow for the northern savannas, the green for the palm groves and the red in memory of those who shed their blood for Dahomey. Although the country strived for independence from France, they French influence is still pretty strong. The official language itself is French, they celebrate crucial French holidays and even sing the national anthem in French.
  • Brazil -
    “Brazil! La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La!”, okay I’m sorry but those lyrics really are the first thing that I think of when I hear the name Brazil. A large part of my childhood involved parties wherein this song would be played. My mind is still humming the lyrics. But but Brazil is best known not just for the Venga Boys hit song but for the football stars it has produced. Also, for Amazon, not prime but THE forest and river as well as one of the 7 wonders of the world! Quite the popular vacation destination, there’s a lot more to learn about Brazil.
  • Burkina Faso -
    Did you know?? The Republic of Upper Volta was renamed “Burkina Faso” on 4 August 1984 by then-President Thomas Sankara.
