Why did cameroon change the flag from 2 stars to one star?

Cameroon changed its flag from two stars to one star in 1975 to symbolize national unity and the consolidation of the country's diverse cultures into a single nation. The two stars originally represented the two regions—East and West Cameroon—that united to form the Republic of Cameroon in 1961. The shift to a single star aimed to foster a sense of national identity and solidarity among Cameroonians, emphasizing the importance of unity over regional divisions.
