Seychelles Nylon Flags

About Our Seychelles Nylon Flags

In 1993 pressure from foreign powers led to democratization of the government. The ruling party lost its monopoly in elections, and the participation of other parties in the government led to a demand for a less partisan national flag. Parliament approved a design incorporating the colours of various parties in a flag that was hoisted on June 18, 1996. The colours of the flag are blue (for sky and sea), yellow (for the life-giving sun), red (for the people and their work for unity and love), white (for social justice and harmony), and green (for the land and natural environment).
