"Others are of the opinion that the proposed flag cannot be seen as uniquely Angolan because it resembles the flag of Costa Rica, the flag of Thailand and the flag of North Korea."'

- The Angolan Press Agency reported these comments according to Flags of the World - http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/ao!.html
-
- Among the chosen symbols, which took three years to analyse, the citizens manifested more skeptical about the new flag proposal, defending that the country should adopt an exclusive flag, which is not the case of the one that has been chosen, since it is very similar to the flags of several countries and is not exclusive in terms of colours. During the phone-in session, callers said things such as "You deputies (MP's) will not copy a flag from other countries (...)".
-
- As regard the similarity with the flag of Costa Rica, the PLD deputy (Manuela Santana - my note) explained that the commission did not define criteria for the public contest from which they got the chosen proposal, allowing contestants to design their flags as they pleased. "That is why we did not have a lot of choice", she said.
I've added this link as citation, and removed references to the Thailand and North Korea flags. Hope this is ok. Rugxulo 20:58, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
