Asia, Africa and Europe are usually counted as separate continents. But in a certain sense the "Old World" is simply one enormously shaped island. Even before the creation of the Suez Canal, Africa was linked to Asia or rather Eurasia. Thus we have the Old World Super Continent Flag.
In this case yellow represents Europe, blue represents Africa, and green represents Asia. Since yellow and blue make green, likewise Africa and Europe are both connected to Asia. The three seven pointed stars honor the three names of the traditional continents: Asia, Africa, and Europe.
