Note to editor: As flags reported by Jaume continue to be confirmed, please split up this discussion.

lance, a sun, two birds)

yellow horizontal (1:2:1)

yellow sun in center near hoist

flag of the PIM is prescribed in Article 9 of the party's Statutes
The
distinctive emblems are :

white), charged in the center with a symbol featuring the map of the two
Autonomous Regions superimposed by a handshake as a sign of fraternity and unity

On the party's press releases, the

inscribed in a black circle.

The Partido Movimiento de Unidad Costeña (PAMUC) was established in 2000 in
the North Atlantic Autonomous Region.
The flag of the PAMUC is prescribed
in Article 40 of the party's Statutes.
The PAMUC is identified by a
rectangular flag composed of three vertical stripes, dark green at the left
side, white in the center, charged with a white dove with raised wings and
holding a branch of laurel in the beak, and blue at the right side. In the
flag's center, surrounding the dove, three yellow stars forming a shield around
the dove.
The symbols mean: Green, the land of Costa Atlántica; white with
the dove, victory and aspired peace; blue, the Nicaraguan sky and sea; and the
three stars, the three Regions of Costa Atlántica.
Oddly enough, the
flag featured on the Statutes does not match the official description, the
colors are greenish and purple, the stars are white, and there is another two
stars in each of the colored stripes.

The flag in use does not
match either the description or the image in the Statutes; the white stripe
being charged in the center with the dove flying to the hoist and surmounted by
eight black stars arranged in a semi-circular pattern.

![[YATAMA party flag)]](../images/n/ni-mosq3.jpg)
image from upsidedownworld.org
Jaume mentions also other flags used by the Miskitos,
but this is very poorly documented on the internet, if at all.
The flag of the political
party YATAMA, described by Jaume, can be seen at: <upsidedownworld.org>
with the detailed info on the organization and in another photo at: <www.grupoese.com.ni>.
The central charge of that flag is identical to the emblem of the
Communitarian Nation of Moskitia as seen at: <www.puebloindio.org>,
but not in colors (note that .site is outdated and not kept up to
date, so the emblem might be obsolete).

Yapti Tasba Masraka Nanih Asla Taknaka (The Organization of the Peoples of
