There is, as far as I can see, no mention of a flag or any
other symbol in the adopted constitution of Mwali, see

A red flag with a yellow hoist stripe, is at
http://www.worldstatesmen.org/Comoros.htm#Moheli
labelled «11 Aug 1997 - 1998;
Re-adopted 10 Mar 2002». Readopted
it may be — but apparently not on the
constitution.
António Martins, 08 Oct 2002 and 29 Jan 2003
It seems that the self-proclaimed Democratic Republic of Mwali lasted
only from 11 to 28 August 1997.

Moheli is taking the same path as Anjouan. The
French flag was attempted raised for the French national
day 14 June and today, 6 August, NANDO Times reported that «The
separatists in Fomboni, the main town on Moheli, also hoisted the
yellow-and-black flag of Queen Fatima
Djoumbe, the last ruler of Moheli before colonization by France.»
As usual, no design details are offered.
Sources:
The flag used by Fatima Djumbe is shown
by Calvarin [clv02]: it was yellow and
red, not yellow and black.
