The traditional flag was red for many centuries and is said to represent the blood ties betwin the royal family of Morocco & profet Mohamed. The green pentacle stands for the Seal of Solomon. Durin the colonisation the country used to display 2 main flags. The French part had the present version adorned with a small French Tricolor in the canton. The Spanish part used another flag. The present pattern was officially hoisted on 7 APRIL 1956. Nowadayz Spain still possess a few ridiculous islands or enclaves in Morocco & dont hesitate to make a big fuss about it !!!! [Personaly I M for a united Morocco with NO Ceuta, NO Melilla, NO Sahara Republic.... but it's only my view !!!!]
