Comoros: South Africa
built 628 days ago
Comoros has officially participated in the African Franc Zone (Communauté Financière Africaine-- CFA) since 1979. The CFA franc was devalued by 50 percent on January 12, 1994, causing the exchange rate to become 100 CFA francs for one French franc. Subsequently, the Comoran franc was devalued so that instead of being directly aligned with the CFA franc, seventyfive Comoran francs equaled one French franc.

A legend is recounted on Comoros and on the East African coast of seven Shirazi brothers who set sail in seven ships, landed on the coast of northwest Madagascar and on Njazidja and Nzwani, and established colonies in the fifteenth century. The Shirazi, who divided Njazidja into eleven sultanates and Nzwani into two, extended their rule to Mahoré and Mwali, although the latter in the nineteenth century came under the control of Malagasy rulers.”

An extremely brief historical overview accompanies this BBC Country Profile of Comoros. Of particular interest are the simplified regional map (see where the country is in Africa), a photograph of Comoros’s current Chief of State, and details about the countries media.
