Thread: Comoro

  1. #1

    Default Comoro

    The three Indian Ocean islands have experienced more than 20 coups or attempted coups, beginning just weeks after independence from France in 1975 when President Ahmed Abdallah was toppled in a coup assisted by French mercenary Colonel Bob Denard. Colonel Denard featured in several power struggles over the years.
    The Comoro Islands are located at the northern end of the Mozambique Channel between Madagascar and Africa with each of them: Ngazidja (Grande Comore), Mwali (Moheli), Nzwani (Anjouan), and Maore (Mayotte) having distinct characteristics due to their different ages. Mayotte, the oldest of the islands, is an ancient volcanic island with highly eroded mountains and slow, meandering streams. Grande Comore, the youngest of the islands has a massive, active volcano and recent lava flows. The other two islands are mountainous but have had no recent volcanic activity. The Islands occupy a strategic position in the western Indian Ocean and have played an important role in the history of the area.

    The Comoros is a volcanic archipelago off Africa's east drift, in the warm Indian Ocean waters of the Mozambique Channel. The country state's biggest island, Grande Comore (Ngazidja) is ringed by shorelines and old magma from dynamic Mt. Karthala well of lava. Grouped around the port in the capital, Moroni, cut entryways and the white colonnaded Ancienne Mosquée du Vendredi review the islands' Arab legacy.
