Meaning of the Mozambique Flag

The current version of the Flag was adopted on May 1, 1983.  The three main colors represent the following.  The black stripe is for Africa.  The green Stripe is for the riches of the land.  The yellow stripe is for the wealth of minerals in the land.  The two small white stripes means peace.   The red stands for the struggle of independence.  The Other items such as the star is sign of Marxism.  The open book shows the need to keep learning throughout life.  The garden hoe shows the hard working agricultural parts of the country.  Finally last but definitely not least, is the AK-47 with a full mag and bayonet showing strength and power with the will to fight for freedom and defense.
