Flags of the World - Angola

The flag of Angola, adopted upon independence in 1975, features a red-and-black design symbolizing the blood shed for liberation and the African continent. Its central yellow emblem—a machete and half-cogwheel—represents agricultural workers, industry, and the socialist struggle for progress.

Thank you Alena!

Luanda

Luanda is the capital and largest city in Angola. It is Angola's primary port, and its major industrial, cultural and urban centre. Luanda sits on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean and is divided into two parts; Baixa de Luanda and Cidade Alta. It is a fast growing city, with major reconstruction and development projects popping up all over the city, which has attracted numerous Portuguese immigrants over the past few years.

Many thanks Miroslava!
