African Independence Party (French: Parti Africain de l'Indépendance,
PAI) is the Senegalese successor of the same-named Communist party in French
West Africa, which was founded in 1957 and divided into separate parties as
the countries were achieving their independence. In Senegal, the party was
banned in 1960. After the three-party system was introduced in 1975,
allowing the existence of a Liberal Democratic, a Social Democratic and a
Marxist-Leninist party, the followers of former general secretary Majhemout
Diop, who was expelled from the party in 1972, have grouped under the name
PAI-Renewal (PAI-Rénovation) in 1976 and managed to be registered as the
legal Marxist-Leninist party under the original party name PAI later same
year. (The original PAI, known as the PAI-Senegal afterwards, was registered
only after the full multi-party system was introduced in 1981 and under a
completely different name - Party of Independence and Labour.) The current
party, although legally considered the successor of the original PAI, never
managed to gain elected representation on national level, being overshadowed
by other leftist parties (including the rival group mentioned above).

Flag of the African Independence Party is red, with a large black star in
center, as shown at the party website:

Considering that the
party claims the succession to the original PAI, the flag was probably used by
the original party as well.
