Comoros is in a state of constant revolution. Anything with a Comoros flag should be immediately suspect. I'm glad they caught the stuff.

Official Name -Federal Islamic Republic of the Comoros Capital City- Moroni Languages- Arabic (official), French (official) Thank you. It irked me when I read that "The Comoros flag is considered a flag of convenience". Never heard of that if we are speaking about merchant convenience... But obviously they meant "terrorist convenience"
