Comoros, an independent state comprising three of the islands of the Comorian archipelago in the Indian Ocean, off the coast of East Africa. A fourth island of the Comorian archipelago, Mayotte, is claimed by the country of Comoros but administered by France.
The volcanic islands of the Comorian archipelago have been called the "perfumed islands" for their fragrant plant life and are known for their great scenic beauty. The four main islands of the archipelago-"four small effervescent stones, wedged between the nearby large red island Madagascar and the Mozambican coast," in the words of the Comorian writer Sitti Saïd Youssouf-combine African, Arabic, Malagasy, and French influences and were once important in the significant Indian Ocean trade between East Africa and Asian ports such as India and Japan.
Comoros gained independence from France in 1975. Only one island in the archipelago named Mayotte decided to remain under French colonial rule. Ahmed Abdallah Abderemane became the first President of Comoros. He was overthrown by Ali Solih in the same year. The coup became the first of the many coups that were to occur in the island nation. The current President of Comoros is Ahmed Abdallah Sambi. President Sambi is a known as a moderate Islamist leader.
The Comoros Flag was planned in 2001 yet got the official endorsement just on January 7, 2002. The sickle, stars, and the green shading are the customary images of Islam. The national banner of Comoros comprises of four flat stripes: the top stripe is yellow trailed by white, red, and blue, which is at the base of the banner. On the left half of the Comoros, the banner is a green level triangle that comprises of a white bow with four, five-pointed stars lined up vertically.
The crescent, stars, and the green color represent Islam which is the dominant religion of Comoros. The four colors: yellow, white, red, and blue symbolize the four islands of the nation: Moheli, Mayotte, Anjouan, and Grand Comore. The four stars on the flag also represent these islands.
