This party arose from the common P.A.I.G.C. party from
Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde, that
had a yellow over green flag with a red stripe at hoist,
and from which where derived both the current flag of
Guinea-Bissau and the
previous flag of Cape Verde.
I don't know how old is this flag (I didn't know it before),
but I suspect it dates from the time when the P.A.I.C.V.
abandoned marxism-leninism and became a western-type
socialist party. The P.A.I.C.V., by the way, was formed when
the confederation between Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde got
split, leading to the split of the common P.A.I.G.C. party.
In Guinea, the party kept the same name.
