Tunisia & Anjouan - French Fried Sisters Along the Edges of Africa

 Tunisia and Anjouan were previously pulled into the orbits of France and colonies along the outer rim of Africa.  Tunisia along her north coast and Anjouan along her east coast.  Islam has made it home in both nations, separated by an ocean a land and desert of the sea. 

 Anjouan was recently an independent nation in the twilight zone, but has reattached herself to the Comoros.  

Tunisian had a strong West Asian influence, just as Anjouan has a strong East Asian influence.  This separates them a bit from the core of African culture.

 

Somalia & the Congo

 The Congo has had many flags reflecting its many hearts.  It has face towards Brazil to her many grandchildren stolen to the Americas, a face towards Somalia for her sisterhood.  The star flags of the Congo and Somalia show their core connectio. To Africa.  They also have lesser hearts rooted to the lesser, latent colonizers of Europe: Belgium and Italy.

 Previously the Congo has single large yellow star in concord with Somalia.  Although a new flag flies above, the connection to Somalia is perpetual outside of time. 

 

Mauritania & the Oromo

Africa along the northern edges, these flags of red, greed, and green united the two ends of Northern Africa. 

 Harmonious symbols blend perfect like a crescent moon and shining sun.  

 

Brazil & Zaire - From the Amazon to the Congo Rivers

 From the Amazon to the Congo, the great rivers from the heart of Africa and the heart of South America, united these nations.  Although Zaire has reverted to a new flag and an old name, the green flag of the Greater Eastern Congo meets in providential harmony the latter day green flag of Brazil.  

Similar lands by biome, yet light years away culturally.   Just as the native animals differ in alien yet familiar rainforest.  The impact of Europe is understated as a blessing and burden.  

Yet, they are similar sisters who sit on opposite sides of the ocean, who long long ago when the Earth was in a different part of the galaxy were connected by land - whence one could have walked to Congo from Brazil in under an hour. 

 Both flag essentially feature  a fire in the sky.  Long ago we did not know stars were spectacular flames of heaven, likewise the torch was our first step in technology, as level 1 'light saber' that gave us comfort during the night just as the stars still do today. 

They honor the lights of Heaven and Earth, as understood by man.

 

 

 

 

 

Kalmykia & Kazakstan - Eurasia in Europe and Asia

 In past lives they were sisters in the Soviet Union.  Further back, they were run under great Khans and Genghis Khan.  Their link to Russia is deep, yet they are attach the form of Eastern Asia.  They are partially of European and Asian extract, and major mystery to the West. 

Kalmykia has maintained the Eastern orientation in faith and form, yet are wholly in Europe, yet Kazakhstan was destined for civil version of Islam.  

 

Catholic Hapsburgs of the East & West: Austria & Spain

 The Elders of Europe who knew the glory of history.  Long ago they clashed with Islam during the middle ages.  More recently they had ruled over nations as Spain become the ultimate naval power of the earth, while Austria was the like a powerful army who colonized nations within Europe. 

They have maintained their Catholic orientation, due to a proximity to Rome and Italy.  Nonetheless, they are different as night and day.  

 

 

St. Vincent & the Grenadines with the ye'old Grenada Flag

Lesser Antilles islands that have similar yet so different histories, so close yet completely different. Water has that way of shaping the ego and consciousness.
