The flag of Mozambique is the official symbol of the country Mozambique. It was chosen and started being used on May 1, 1983.
What the Flag Looks Like
The flag of Mozambique has three horizontal stripes. These stripes are green at the top, black in the middle, and yellow at the bottom. Thin white lines separate the black stripe from the green and yellow ones. This is called a horizontal tricolour.
On the left side of the flag, there is a red triangle. Inside this red triangle, you will see a yellow five-pointed star. On top of the star, there are three important symbols:
- An AK-47 assault rifle with a bayonet (a knife attached to the gun).
- A hoe, which is a tool used for farming.
- An open book.
These symbols are placed on top of each other, showing different aspects of the country's history and goals.
