Bojayá is a municipality in the Chocó Department.
Administrative center is in Bellavista. It was established by
decree no. 13 of 12 December 1960. Bojayá became known worldwide
after the "Bojayá massacre" of 2 May 2002 in which
fighting between two rival groups resulted the death of 119
civilians that were hiding in local church (for further reading
see wikipedia).
Bojayá flag is horizontal blue over green with white canton with
16 stars (15 in circle and a larger one in the center). The image
at the municipal
web site seems to be mirrored.
