"Umodja wa Massiwa" (Comorian for "The Union of the Islands") is the national anthem of the Comoros. Adopted in 1978, it was written by Said Hachim Sidi Abderemane, who also composed the music with Kamildine Abdallah.
The spelling of the title is subject to inconsistency. In the 1978 Constitution, it was written "Ouzima wa Massiwa"; in 1992, "Udzima Wa Masiwa"; and in 2001, "Umodja Wa Masiwa". Currently, with the revisions of 2009 and 2013, it is written: "Umodja Wa Massiwa".
