Flag of the Comoros

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The current flag of Comoros was adopted in 2003. The former flag was a crescent on a green field. The new design retains the crescent but places it within a green triangle. In addition, four stripes were added to symbolize the four islands of the nation: yellow is for Mohéli, white for Mayotte (claimed by Comoros but administered by France), red for Anjouan, and blue for Grand Comore. The four stars next to the crescent also stand for the islands, while the crescent stands for Islam, which is the major religion on Comoros.
