Asafo Flags Sharing the culture and story telling flags by the Fante people of Ghana 🇬🇭
(4)

Asafo flags, locally called "frankaa", are paraded on festive occasions by men's "military" companies among the Fante people of coastal Ghana. The imagery asserts the wealth and power of the company and challenges its rivals, often through an associated proverb. The flags were made from thin flimsy imported cloth and the effect of being hung outside for days at a time in all weathers and repeated

use in parades tends to mean that older pieces are often quite battered with numerous marks, holes and patches.

Life resembles a game of draughts; to succeed, you must take action...

Certain Asafo flags depict a draughts game board, symbolizing the skill to outsmart opponents.

Asafo flag of the day.

Beenu beenu woye ntafo.

Proverb:
"When the twin guns speak, they do not quarrel; they answer with one voice."

The two guns symbolize twins whose strength lies in their unity. Though they are two individuals, they share one spirit, one purpose, and one destiny. Together they protect, support, and bring honour to their family and Asafo company.
