What ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ฏ means

Benin, the West African country between Togo and Nigeria, flies a green vertical band beside yellow over red.

Beninese people use ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ฏ for pride and football, and travelers post it from Cotonou and the coastal town of Ouidah. Posts about the Vodun festival and the history of the Dahomey kingdom bring it out too.

Benin is a birthplace of Vodun, the religion behind Haitian Vodou, so the flag sometimes appears in posts about that shared heritage.
