Mozambique Flag Patch

"The Mozambique flag consists of three equal horizontal bands. The upper stripe is green, the middle black and the bottom yellow. The black strip is bordered by a thin white strip from the top and bottom. On the left side of the flag is a red triangle, which is directed toward the center. In the center of the triangle is a five-pointed star with a yellow hull over it. The emblem consists of a rifle and anchor paintings, which are located diagonally on an open book.

The red ribbon represents the struggle for independence in Mozambique. The green represents the land of the country, while the black color represents the African continent. Yellow color indicates the country’s mineral resources. The yellow star represents the country’s socialist beliefs. The book represents education and represents anchors, peasants, and agriculture. Rifle refers to the determination of the freedom of the nation." (source: mappr)
