COMOROS- Comoros is situated in the Mozambique Channel between Madagascar and the African mainland. It comprises three main   islands--Grande Comore, Anjouan, and  Moheli (renamed Njazidja, Nzwani, and Mwali, respectively, in 1977).  After years of internal strife and politacal coups and assassinations which almost bankrupt the country,  Comoros is now a stable country.  Under EC financial aid and protection, Comoros is fast joining the modern world and is finding itself hosting many corporations, as well as a booming tourist industry.  Unfortunately Comoros still has a seedy side, and many mercenaries and fugitives use its smaller islets and especially on the fourth island of Mayotte, which though claimed by Comoros is unsettled and devoid of government.
