It was founded in 1986 as Movimento Bafatá (Bafatah Movement
— this being a town in eastern Bissau Guinea), still during the
single party regime of P.A.I.G.C. In 1991 it
changed its official name to Resistência da Guiné-Bissau
(Guinea-Bissau Resistance) and got a solid 3rd place in the 1994 parliament
elections (19 seats out of 100). Its electoral results have been falling ever
since and there’s currently no R.G.B.-M.B. representatives in the
parliament, the party having obtained under 2% in the 2004 election and not
even running for the 2008 election.

The flag of R.G.B.-M.B. is shown as #2 in both ballot
papers reported. It is devided in three panels like the
national flag — black at the hoist and
green over red at the fly, with a thin light blue laying "T" overall covering
the seams of these panels; centered over the intersection a large round emblem
(~2/3rds of the height), also light blue and filled with a yellow sun charged
with an white open book and a white with black capitals scroll along the
bottom edge. The flag ratio is roughly 5:7 as most others’ in the
ballot papers are.

The scroll reads the words "paz" (peace), "progresso"
("progress"), and another word.
