Flag of Comoros
Date Flag first adopted: January 7th, 2002
Description: Four equal horizontal bands of yellow (top), white, red, and blue with a green isosceles triangle
based on the hoist; centered within the triangle is a white crescent with the convex side facing the hoist and
four white, five-pointed stars placed vertically in a line between the points of the crescent; the horizontal
bands and the four stars represent the four main islands of the archipelago - Mwali, N'gazidja, Nzwani, and
Mahore (Mayotte - territorial collectivity of France, but claimed by Comoros). Note: the crescent, stars, and color green are traditional symbols of Islam.
