AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
1. Rwanda – Historical national flag
The flag of Rwanda was introduced in 1962, at independence from Belgium on July 1. The design consists of three vertical bands in red, yellow and green, with a large black letter R in the middle. The letter R served to distinguish the flag from that of Guinea. This flag remained in use until 2001, when Rwanda adopted a new national design.
Size: 140 x 100 cm
2. Mozambique – National flag
1983 – present
The current flag of Mozambique was officially adopted on May 1, 1983. The country had previously, on June 25, 1975, gained independence from Portugal. The flag contains a distinctive emblem with an AK-47, a farming hoe, and an open book. These symbols refer to the independence struggle, agriculture and education. Mozambique has thus one of the most striking national flags in the world.
Size: 135 x 115 cm
3. Madagascar – National flag
1958 – present
The flag of Madagascar was adopted on October 14, 1958, when the country gained self-government within the French Community. After independence from France on June 26, 1960, the design remained. The white, red and green bands refer to the historical traditions and national identity of Madagascar.
Size: 185 x 120 cm
