75% of players answered correctly.

THE CORRECT ANSWER: Introduction to Mozambique

Mozambique's national flag is one of the few in the world to feature modern weaponry. Officially adopted on May 1, 1983, this emblem reflects the tumultuous history and struggle for the country's sovereignty. In the center of the yellow star are three crossed symbols of great representative value. The AK-47 assault rifle directly evokes national defense and the war of independence waged against the Portuguese colonial power. The hoe symbolizes agriculture, a key sector of the economy and livelihood of the Mozambican people. The open book recalls the crucial importance of education and instruction in the development of the nation. As for the colors, the green band represents the richness of the earth, black embodies the African continent, yellow recalls the mineral resources and red symbolizes the blood shed during the struggles for emancipation.
