Comoros

The Comoros is an island nation located in the Indian Ocean, off the eastern coast of Africa. Comprising three main islands—Grande Comore, Mohéli, and Anjouan—and several smaller islets, it is known for its diverse culture, volcanic landscapes, and rich marine life. The country has a mixed economy based on agriculture, fishing, and tourism, though it is one of the world's least developed countries. Its population is a blend of African, Arab, and Malagasy heritage, shaped by centuries of trade and migration. Comoros gained independence from France in 1975 and operates as a republic, facing ongoing economic and political challenges.
