Comoros Changed Its Name
Dateline: 05/18/99 On Friday, April 23, delegates from the three-island country of Comoros met in Madagascar to develop a plan to give the country's two smaller islands more autonomy. Comoros is located in the Mozambique Channel of the Indian Ocean , between Mozambique and the island of Madagascar. Over the years, the two smaller islands of Comoros, Anjouan and Moheli have felt powerless against the largest island, Grande Comore, where the capital of Moroni sits. The autonomy deal was approved and the long-form name of the country was changed from the "Federal Islamic Republic of the Comoros" to the "Union of Comoros Islands."
The new Union of Comoros Islands There has been international protest, especially from African countries and the

      Courtesy Mari G. Borstelmann One of the touchiest issues in the negotiations between Comoros and France over independence in the early 1970s had been whether the 1974 referendum would be considered for the Comoros archipelago as a whole or on an island-by-island basis. Opposition to independence on Mahoré was organized by the Mayotte Popular Movement (Mouvement Populaire MahoraisMPM), an organization that had been founded in the 1960s by Zeina M'Dere, a spokeswoman for Mahoré shopkeepers, mostly women, who had been affected economically when the colonial capital was moved from the Mahoré town of Dzaoudzi to Moroni on Njazidja in 1962. The reasons behind Mahoré's 65 percent vote against independence were several. First, the people of Mahoré considered themselves culturally, religiously, and linguistically distinct from those of the other three islands; they felt that their long association with France (since 1841) had given their island a distinct Creole character like that of Reunion or Seychelles. Second, given Mahoré's smaller population, greater natural resources, and higher standard of living, the Mahorais thought that their island would be economically viable within a French union and ought not to be brought down to the level of the other three poorer islands. Third, most Mahorais apparently felt that Mahoré's future within a Comoran state would not be a comfortable one, given a perception of neglect that had begun with the much resented transfer of the capital.

    The successive arrivals of Arabs, Africans and Madagascans have left a lasting mark on this archipelago. Their influence has been significant on the level of both population and culture. The ethnic mix has given birth to a rich and original culture. The architecture of mosques, minarets, public squares and ramparts all attest to a 1000-year old Islamic culture. The climate is tropical with a hot rainy season from November to May and a cooler drier season from June to October.
    With their mountainous landscape and luxurious landscape, the Comoros are islands of diversity and contrast. The rich soil is marked here and there by wide fissures and imposing hills. With such variety of colour and shape, the Comoross are like a painting that unite the deep green of their lush vegetation, the black of the lava, the brilliant white of the beaches, and the turquoise blue of the ocean.

In 1997, the islands of Anjouan and Moheli declared their independence from Comoros. In 1999, military chief Col. AZALI seized power. He pledged to resolve the secessionist crisis through a confederal arrangement named the 2000 Fomboni Accord. In December 2001, voters approved a new constitution and presidential elections took place in the spring of 2002. Each island in the archipelago elected its own president and a new union president took office in May of 2002.
