The first flag was yellow with emblem and from its colors was derived
the Black-Yellow-Red flag. Flaggenmitteilung 42 reports a flag with three
horizontal stripes: top and bottom are WHITE, and the central one is divided
in three stripes of green, yellow and black. In the center of the flag
a red ring (occupying all central three stripes and 1/3 of each white one).
Jaume Ollé, 5 May 1998
The flag is illustrated in Franciae Vexilla #11/57, November 1997,
and attributed to "renovated-FLEC".

According to my notes this flag shows thin white fimbriations between
the stripes and the ring (whose delta diameter
should be equal to the height of each smaller stripe) has a 90 deg. gap
pointing up (so the flag is vertically symmetrical).

I saw on RTP (our public TV) another report on Cabinda. This time, RTP
journalists went to the FLEC-controlled areas in Cabinda to interview the
independentists of the FLEC-Renovada group, those that performed the latest
kidnapping. And they spoke to the Portuguese TV, in the jungle, with a
flag in the background. The flag, which I presume is the flag of the FLEC-Renovada
group, is striped in white, green, yellow, black and white, with the proportions
close to 2:1:1:1:2 (the white stripes might be narrower than that...) and
with a red ring over all, open at the top. This time, there's no possible
doubt: the footage is contemporary, the group is FLEC-Renovada, the flag
is in use, and never reported before.

I know that one! I described this one some three or
four years ago...

Indeed you did, although there are some differences: your arc is closed,
while in the flag I saw it was open, and the stripes are in your illustration about
3:1:1:1:3, while in the flag I saw they were about 2:1:1:1:2,
or perhaps even 3:2:2:2:3.

The very similar flag was posted in Nov 1997 but red ring is not open
at the top.
