The national flag of Togo consists of five horizontal stripes, alternating between green and yellow, with a red square bearing a five-pointed white star in the Canton (flag), canton. It is one of many Flags of Africa, African flags that use the pan-African colours of green, yellow, and red. Togolese artist Paul Ahyi designed the flag in 1960, just before its adoption on 27 April of that year, coinciding with Togo's proclamation of independence. When Togo was an autonomous republic within the French Union (the successor to the French colonial empire), it flew a green flag with the Flag of France, French tricolour in the canton and two five-pointed yellow stars, one in the lower hoist and one in the upper fly. Design Togolese artist Paul Ahyi (1930–2010) was the designer of the flag.

Regions Of Togo
Regions () are the first-level administrative divisions of Togo. They are subdivided into prefectures, which can be further broken down into communes.

Overview Togo has five regions subdivided into 39 prefectures, which are in turn subdivided into 117 communes. The regions are, from north to south, Savanes, Kara, Centrale, Plateaux and Maritime.

A city is a human settlement of a substantial size. The term "city" has different meanings around the world and in some places the settlement can be very small.

Kéran National Park
Oti-Kéran National Park is located in the north of Togo, in the Kara area. There is only one road going through this area. Not many tourists visit Togo as the main national parks are more accessible in Ghana. History Social impact The Oti-Kéran National Park belongs to a network of nature reserves in northern Togo that has been considerably expanded since the 1960s. These actions were undertaken without consent and participation of the local population. Instead of gaining income from tourism and other business opportunities potentially linked to the national parks, people were removed from their land and agricultural developments were abandoned, resulting in an increase of poverty and even hunger. Additionally, wildlife - especially elephants - from the protected but not fenced areas caused damage to fields and crops in the surrounding communities. This led to antipathy by the local population against the protected areas and the wildlife. During political turmoil in 1990 this ...
