Seen from outside

The Comoros, officially the Union of the Comoros, is an archipelagic country made up of three islands in Southeast Africa, located at the northern end of the Mozambique Channel in the Indian Ocean. Its capital and largest city is Moroni. The predominant religion of the population—and the official state religion—is Islam. Comoros proclaimed its independence from France on 6 July 1975. The three official languages are Comorian, French and Arabic. The Comoros is the only country of the Arab League which is entirely in the Southern Hemisphere.
