Comoros
“
The nation rises up because of the faith we have in our Comoros. Let us always have devotion to love our Great Islands.
— The Unity of the Great Islands
The Comoros, officially the Union of the Comoros, is an archipelagic country made up of three islands in Southeastern Africa, located at the northern end of the
Mozambique Channel in the
Indian Ocean. His capital and largest city is
Moroni. The religion of the majority of the population, and the official state religion, is
Sunni Islam. Comoros proclaimed his independence from
France on 6 July 1975. The Comoros is the only country of the
Arab League who is entirely in the
Southern Hemisphere. Comoros is a member state of the
African Union, the
Organisation internationale de la Francophonie, the
Organisation of Islamic Co-operation, and the Indian Ocean Commission. The country has three official languages:
Shikomori,
French and
Arabic. Most of the nation's population is
Muslim, and the crescent and the star representing Islam appear on the flag of Comoros.
Some consider Comoros to be a part of the Swahili Coast regarding the distance because his culture is heavily influenced from his neighbors there.
Comoros claims that Mayotte, a
French oversees territory, is theirs.
History[edit | edit source]
On 2001 December, Comoros decided to commit the adoption of a new constitution, transforming the
Federal Islamic Republic of the Comoros into the new Union of the Comoros. This provided greater autonomy for the islands (
Grande Comore,
Anjouan, and
Mohéli) and granted them each their own president. This new
constitution was part of a plan to bring stability to the Comoros following years of political turmoil and secessionist movements among the islands.
In April 2002, Azali Assoumani became the president of the Comoros after winning the
presidential elections held under a new constitution.
In 2006 May, Ahmed Abdallah Mohamed Sambi wins the
presidential election and succeeds
Azali Assoumani.
In 2007 March, a crisis occurs as Anjouan's president
Mohamed Bacar refuses to step down despite his term expiration. This led to a standoff and eventually a military intervention. In March 2008, the
African Union, with the support of Comorian and
Tanzanian troops, launched an operation to oust
Bacar and restore order.
Bacar fled to
Mayotte and later to
Benin, and new elections were organized to establish legitimate governance on
Anjouan.
In May 2010, Ikililou Dhoinine won the
presidential election in the Comoros and succeeded
Ahmed Abdallah Mohamed Sambi.
Ikililou Dhoinine, who had served as vice president under
Sambi, assumed the presidency later that year, continuing the political transition in the Comoros. He officially took office on May 26, 2011. But on 2016
April,
Azali Assoumani wins the
presidential election and returns to power.
On 2018 July, a constitutional referendum was approved, allowing the president to serve two consecutive terms amid opposition boycott.
2019 March saw Azali Assoumani wins re-election amid fraud allegations and opposition protests.
In March 2020, Comoros got infected with COVID-19. In 2021, March, Comoros begins his COVID-19 vaccination campaign. In total, 9,109 cases and 161 deaths of COVID happened in Comoros.
In 2022 December, Azali Assoumani was announced as chairperson of the
African Union for 2023.
Economy[edit | edit source]
As one of the world's poorest countries, Comoros is made up of three islands that have inadequate transportation links, a young and rapidly increasing population, and few natural resources. The low educational level of the labor force contributes to a subsistence level of economic activity, high unemployment, and a heavy dependence on foreign grants and technical assistance. Agriculture, including fishing, hunting, and forestry, contributes 40% to GDP, employs 80% of the labor force, and provides most of the exports. The country is not self-sufficient in food production; 🍚 rice, the main staple, accounts for the bulk of imports. The government - which is hampered by internal political disputes - is struggling to upgrade education and technical training, privatize commercial and industrial enterprises, improve health services, diversify exports, promote tourism, and reduce the high population growth rate. Increased foreign support is essential if the goal of 4% annual GDP growth is to be met. Remittances from 150,000 Comorans abroad help supplement GDP.
