The flag originates from the freedom movement, Frelimo.

Mozambique and Guatemala are the only two countries with small arms on their flags.

The colors on the flag symbolize the following: green represents the riches of the earth, black the African continent, yellow the subsoil assets to minerals, white is the symbol of peace, and red the fight for freedom and independence.
