History
The current national flag of the Union of the Comoros was adopted on 23 December 2001. The four horizontal stripes represent the archipelago’s four main islands: Mohéli, Mayotte, Anjouan, and Grande Comore. The green triangle, white crescent, and four stars evoke the country’s Islamic heritage and also reiterate the four islands. The design continues a crescent-and-stars motif used in earlier Comorian flags dating back to 1963.
