Extractions: Comoros COUNTRY DESCRIPTION: Comoros is a developing island nation located in the Indian Ocean off the east coast of Africa. Facilities for tourism are limited, and telecommunication links are extremely unreliable. ENTRY REQUIREMENTS: A passport and onward/return ticket are required. A three-week entry visa, which may be extended, may be obtained upon arrival at the airport. Travelers should obtain the latest details from the Mission of the Federal Islamic Republic of the Comoros, 420 East 50th Street, New York, NY 10022; telephone (212) 972-8010, fax (212) 983-4712. SAFETY AND SECURITY: Comoros has experienced frequent strikes and civil unrest, resulting in violent clashes between police and demonstrators. Although foreign residents and visitors have not been targeted, the potential for further outbreaks of civil disorder remains high. On the island of Anjouan, a secessionist crisis that began in 1997 appears to have been at least temporarily resolved. However, in view of the continued existence of Organization of African Unity sanctions on Anjouan, U.S. citizens are urged to defer non-essential travel to Anjouan. U.S. citizens already there are urged to review their personal security situation in determining whether to remain on the island. U.S. citizens should avoid political rallies and street demonstrations and maintain security awareness at all times.

Extractions: Comoros Links Country Map Accommodation Destination : COMOROS Comoros, the, officially Federal Islamic Republic of the Comoros , republic (1995 est. pop. 549,000), 718 sq mi (1,862 sq km), occupying most of the Comoro Islands, an archipelago in the Indian Ocean, between the African coast and Madagascar. The capital is Moroni . It consists of three volcanic main islands Njazidja, Nzwani, and Mwali (formerly Grande-Comore, Anjouan, and Mohéli, respectively)as well as numerous coral reefs and islets. A fourth island, the largely Roman Catholic Mayotte , is administered by France but claimed by the Comoros. Because of poor soil, lack of natural resources, and overpopulation, the islands have severe economic problems. Most of the population is engaged in agriculture, involving subsistence crops and the production of vanilla, copra, and essential oils for export. The people are of mixed African, Arab, Malay, and Indian descent. French and Arabic are the official languages, but most people speak a local blend of Swahili and Arabic. The state religion is Islam Unstable Comoros has endured 19 coups or attempted coups since gaining independence from France in 1975. In 1997, the islands of Anjouan and Moheli declared their independence from Comoros. In 1999, military chief Col. AZALI seized power. He has pledged to resolve the secessionist crisis through the 2000 Fomboni Accord, a confederal arrangement that the Organization of African Unity has yet to recognize.

Extractions: "Spanish is easier than French" English speakers typically find Spanish pronunciation a bit easier in the first year. In the second year, French grammar is easier than Spanish. Spanish has 14 commonly used verb tenses, while French only has 11. If you study for two years, one language is no more difficult than the other. Why French Is a Good Choice for Americans 28.3% of English words were borrowed from French. Of the 28% of English words borrowed ultimately from Latin, the majority came through French, and in the French form. French is the most common foreign language to be quoted in English literature. French is the root language for most common English words in management, finance, politics, law, diplomacy, fashion, cuisine, the military, and religion. After English, French is the second most popular language to be studied as a second language. If an educated or professional person in another country doesn't speak English, they'll probably speak French. The US does more business with French speaking countries than Spanish speaking countries. France has the fourth largest economy in the world, exceeded only by the US, Japan, and Germany. The US exports more to French speaking countries than countries speaking any other foreign language. The French-speaking Canadian province of Quebec is our fifth largest trading partner.

There are cobblestoned medinas with higgledy-piggledy lanes and old world charm; ports bristling with white sailed dhows; tropical moons rising over white beaches; the sun setting over the ocean in a riot of reds and oranges; and a colourful history of sultans and soothsayers, plantantion owners and eloping princesses. But despite all these charms Comoros and Mayotte remain the least frequented and least travelled of all the islands in the region. This may have something to do with the islands' reputation as a backwater, or it just might have something to do with the political coups, civilian riots and seccessionist plots that come and go with seasonal punctuality. Not for nothing has Comoros been nicknamed Coup-Coup Land.
