The similarity between the flag of the aspirant Republic of Benguela and the flag of UNITA [Uniăo Nacional para a Independęncia Total de Angola / National Union for the Total Independence of Angola] is obvious. In fact, it may well be that the "UNITA - no Rooster variant" reported on that page may in fact really be the Republic of Benguela flag.
This similarity is not surprising, since the Ovimbundu ethnic group comprises the largest group in the Benguela region, as well as the leading component of UNITA.

It look like one of those "unrecognised nations" type organisation. the fact that they use maps willy-nilly in different languages doesn't realy help take it seriously. Despite the pan-african rethoric, the limited scope of the maps and the recuring mention of Mr. Kabila would seem to indicate a Congolese organisation.

There are some changes in country names, and three more states are added to the list.
