Reasons for naming the country
The name “Angola” is derived from the word ngola, a title for kings used in the state of Ndongo during the early centuries.
Flag
The national flag of the present Republic of Angola was adopted after its independence from Portugal on November 11, 1975.
The flag consists of two colors, red and black, as well as a gear, a sickle, and a yellow star. The flag of Angola contains the emblem of the political party that governs the country.
