Comoros, Island nation near Madagascar, Indian Ocean.
The archipelago consists of three major volcanic islands located between Madagascar and East Africa, forming a strategic maritime position.
The Comoros declared independence from France in 1975, with Mayotte remaining under French administration as an overseas department.
The population practices Sunni Islam and speaks Comorian, French, and Arabic, reflecting centuries of trade between African and Middle Eastern merchants.
Transportation between islands relies on small aircraft and boats, while local shared taxis provide land transport within each island.
Mount Karthala, on Grande Comore island, contains one of the largest active volcanic craters in the world at 3 kilometers wide.
