National Symbols
Mohéli shares national symbols with the Union of the Comoros while also proudly displaying its own regional emblem. The national flag of Comoros is a four-striped flag (yellow, white, red, blue) with a green chevron bearing a white crescent and four stars, each star representing one island (Mohéli, Grande Comore, Anjouan, and Mayotte) .
This simple yet striking banner (often compared to a color-reversed version of the flag of Vietnam) is a proud regional symbol of Mwali . The coat of arms (national seal) of the Union of Comoros features a green emblem with a crescent and four stars encircled by olive branches. Below it is a banner displaying the national motto in French: “Unité, Solidarité, Développement” (Unity, Solidarity, Development) . This seal, adopted in 2001, embodies the Comorian aspirations for harmony and progress, with each star again honoring the four islands (including Mohéli) in the federation. Additionally, the national anthem of Comoros, “Udzima wa ya Masiwa” (“The Union of the Great Islands”), is sung with pride during official events on Mohéli. Together, these symbols – the flags, the seal, and anthem – remind us of our shared identity and the unique heritage of Mohéli within the Union.
