Since MPLA won the Angolan Civil War, this flag has remained, although there have been plans to change the flag to something less politically loaded. This is a proposal:
If the winner of the civil war would have been UNITA or FNLA instead, maybe the Angolan flag would like one of their flags.
Flag of UNITA:
Flag of FNLA, which looks quite nice IMO:
