What ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ด means

The flag of Angola: red over black, with a yellow half gear wheel, machete and star in the center. It stands for the Portuguese-speaking country on Africa's southwest coast.

Angolans use ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ด for national pride, basketball and football, and music such as kizomba, semba and kuduro, which all have Angolan roots. Dance accounts and the diaspora in Portugal post it often.

The half gear stands for industrial workers and the machete for farmers, a deliberate echo of the hammer and sickle.
