The Angolan flag is red, black and gold – The red part of the flag represents the blood of Angolans killed in conflicts, the black represents the Angolan people, and as for the gold parts—the cogwheel represents industry, the gold machete represents peasantry, and the gold star is modeled after the star on the flag of the former Soviet Union

The flag was designed by Henrique Onambwé. The process of cutting and sewing the first version of the flag was done by Joaquina, Ruth Lara and Cici Cabral on November 11, 1975.

The Angolan flag is based on the flag of the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA), which fought Portuguese colonial rule and emerged as the ruling party of Angola following the Angolan Civil War.^[1] The MPLA flag is similar to the flag of Angola but features a star in place of the central emblem.
