Comoros
Madagascar's island neighbor
Comoros is a small island nation in the Indian Ocean, located off the eastern coast of Africa between Mozambique and Madagascar.
The country comprises three main volcanic islands—Grande Comore, Mohéli, and Anjouan—though a fourth island, Mayotte, remains a French territory despite Comorian claims.
The Comoros has experienced numerous coups since independence.
