Country whose flag features a machete and half of a gearwheel (6)

I believe the answer is:

angola

(Other definitions for angola that I've seen before include "SW African state" , "African state (and Department of Health?)" , "Country of SW Africa" , "Southwestern African state" , "It's no gala in this African country" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
