About the flag
It is almost identical to Romania’s flag, a coincidence that has sparked diplomatic discussion. Chad’s combines French tricolour colours with pan-African ones.
How to spot it: Vertical blue-yellow-red; practically Romania’s twin, but Chad’s blue is a slightly darker indigo.
Often confused with: 🇷🇴 Romania 🇦🇩 Andorra 🇲🇩 Moldova
