Extractions: The Comorians inhabiting Grande Comore, Anjouan, and Moheli (86% of the population) share African-Arab origins. Islam is the dominant religion, and Koranic schools for children reinforce its influence. Although Arab culture is firmly established throughout the archipelago, a substantial minority of the citizens of Mayotte (the Mahorais) are Catholic and have been strongly influenced by French culture. The present government of President Mohamed Taki Abdoulkarim was elected in March 1996 in internationally monitored elections that observers generally considered free and fair. Taki's election followed a short-lived coup by foreign mercenaries in October 1995 that ousted then-President Said Mohamed Djohar. French troops intervened, arresting the coup leaders and placing Djohar under virtual house arrest in the neighboring French territory of Reunion. An interim government ruled for five months prior to the March elections. The Taki government has taken several steps, including banning the sale of alcohol to Comorian residents, designed to appeal to the country's Islamic majority. The government has also indicated its desire to strengthen relations with the United States and France.
Extractions: Mayotte island (Comoros) deepens French dependence afrol News , 8 March The Comoran island of Mayotte, governed from Paris, is deepening its economic dependence on France as new social benefits and subsidies are agreed upon. The French government in particular has agreed to widen health services and public servants' pensions for inhabitants on the disputed Indian Ocean island. The French Minister of Overseas Departments, Brigitte Girardin, has approved several steps to improve civil services in Mayotte, according to a statement by the Ministry released yesterday. The new decrees come after the Follow-up Committee of the French-Mahorais agreement of January 2000, which re-affirmed French sovereignty of the Comoran island. The five-year-old agreement deepened the ties between Paris and Mayotte by making the island a so-called "departmental collectivity" with some autonomy. France agreed to take on greater social responsibilities for the Mahorais population. The agreement was approved of by 72.5 percent of voters in a popular referendum in Mayotte on 2 July 2000.

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.
