Background knowledge

The flag of Morocco was officially introduced on November 17, 1915. In the year of Morocco's independence (1956) the flag was adopted.

It is red and shows in its center a green pentagram, the seal of Solomon (here: Suleyman). Red and green are traditional colors often used in Arab flags, although they are even more strongly associated with Persian Gulf states in particular. The use of red flags was widespread in many Arab countries, as red was the color of the Sherif of Mecca.
