Union of the Comoros Flags

Flag Colors and Description

The flag of Comoros is made of 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, Njazidja, Nzwani, and Mayotte; the crescent, stars, and color green are traditional symbols of Islam.
