According to images included in a social media post by LeFaso.net (a news
agency in Burkina Faso), the flag of the �cole National de Sous-Officier de
Gendarmerie, a school for cadets in Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso, is as follows:
A horizontal bicolour of red and green, with a yellow star in the centre. In
the top stripe are the words �GENDARMERIE NATIONALE,� written on in the shape of
an arc, and �PRO PATRIA PRO LEGE.� Within the bottom stripe are the words are
the words �ECOLE NATIONALE DE SOUS-OFFICIER DE GENDARMERIE,� split between two
lines of text. The accent in ��cole� is not used. The flag is surrounded by a
border of yellow tassels.
I made the reconstruction of the flag based on
the images posted:

the bottom stripe is written �S�INSTRUIRE POUR MIEUX SERVIR,� which roughly
translates to �Learn for Better Service.� The flag is surrounded by yellow
