Flag of the Comoros

Flag of the Comoros

The current flag of Comoros was designed in 2001 and adopted on January 7, 2002. The design consists of a white crescent with four white stars inside of a green triangle. The flag has four stripes, representing four islands of the nation: yellow is for Mohéli, white is for Mayotte (claimed by Comoros but administered by France), red is for Anjouan, and blue is for Grande Comore. The four stars next to the crescent also stand for the islands, while the crescent itself stands for Islam, which is the nation's major religion.
