Comoros Islands’ National Liberation Movement (Mouvement pour la Libération National des Îles Comores - MOLINACO)

In the 1960 a left-wing liberation movement called MOLINACO (Mouvement de Libération Nationale des Comores - Comoros National Liberation Movement) was established. According to Calvarin [clv02], its flag was horizontally divided black-green-blue with four stars in the canton. According to Lux-Wurm [lux01], MOLINACO was in exile in Zanzibar; the colours refer thus to the Zanzibar’s Afro-Shirazi Party.

Proportions 2:3. Horizontal black-green-blue. Four white 5-pointed stars at upper hoist. Note: The successive Comoros national flags retained only the stars and the green colour from this design.

Variant designs reported

Smith [smi76] and the Brockhaus Enzyklopädie (supplement 1976) [bro76] shows the stars forming a square, whereas M. Corbic [crbXX] reports the stars arranged in a diagonal pattern. According to Lux-Wurm [lux01], the stars on the flag were sometimes arranged in an arc of a circle.

Is there a connection between this party and the 1975-1978 Comorian regime?

Comoro Islands Democratic Front (Front Démocratique des Îles Comores - FDIC)

The Front Démocratique is a left-wing political party based in Moroni. I’ve never heard of them having a flag, though, and I know the leader of the FD fairly well (he was my neighbour for two years). They have a branch in Mayotte.
