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.
