About the flag

Mozambique is correct. It’s famously the only national flag that features a modern firearm—an AK‑47—symbolizing defense and the struggle for independence, paired with a hoe for agriculture and a book for education. The colors carry meaning too: red for the liberation struggle, green for the land, black for the African continent, yellow for mineral wealth, and white for peace. Memory tip: think “book, hoe, and AK‑47”—education, work, and defense united under a revolutionary star. The design traces back to FRELIMO, the independence movement, and the flag was adopted in 1983. If you see a rifle on a flag, it’s Mozambique.
