The Union of the Comoros is an island nation in southern Africa in the Mozambique Channel between Madagascar and Mozambique. The population is about 780,000 people. The government is a republic with a president serving as chief of state and head of government. The country gained independence from France in 1976. Since that time, Comoros has suffered through 20 coups or attempted coups, as well as some islands threatening to secede from the Union. Comoros is one of the poorest countries in Africa due to few natural resources, price fluctuations of exports, and political instability. The country is heavily dependent on foreign aid. A new constitution in 2001 brought some degree of political stability by granting the islands more autonomy.
Comoros is making efforts to develop the tourism industry, however, the unstable political situation has prevented growth. The islands offer beautiful unspoiled beaches, small villages to visit, snorkeling, and scuba diving, and travellers can arrange a guide and take a two-day hike up the Karthala volcano.

個人の安全性
The crime rate is low in this country, and most travellers have no trouble. However, petty crime, such as pickpocketing, bag snatching, or other theft can occur in any crowded area or tourist destination. Always be alert in your personal surroundings and safety. Keep valuables secured and out of sight. Safeguard your important documents, such as your passport. Avoid walking alone at night. Do not accept drinks or food from strangers and never leave your drinks out of your sight. Exercise caution in crowded market areas, beaches, and parks.
Comoros is a liberal Muslim country. Travellers should take note of whether they will be travelling during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. During this time, respect the religious practices of the country and avoid eating, drinking, and smoking in public between sunrise and sunset. Always dress conservatively to respect local customs, including at the beach. It is considered disrespectful to expose much of the body, so shoulders, knees, and midriff areas should be covered.
Violent crime generally does not occur.
Essential services, such as running water and electricity, are not reliable even at the best of hotels. Outside urban areas, essential services may not exist. Follow strict food and water precautions.
