![[Kakongo king's banner (1883)]](../images/a/ao_c1883.gif)
by Jarig Bakker, 4 Apr 2001, after image at this
site, reported by Chris Kretowicz, 4 Apr 2001
According to Oliver & Fage - A short history of Africa, 1962,
Kakongo was an outlying area of the kingdom of Bakongo, north of the Kongo
river. It was a kingdom in its own right, as well the kingdoms of Ngoyo
and Loango, all roughly in the area of what is now the enclave of Cabinda.
Stielers Handatlas (1877) has the whole area of Cabinda named Kakongo.
This flag has great similarity with the Fante Asafo
flags of Ghana.
