The first settlers in the geographical space currently known as Angola were the San hunter-gatherers, after which the northern domains such as Ndongo and Kongo settled there. Located in southwestern Africa, the country derives its name, Angola; meaning “king” from Kimbundu, a Bantu language.
Portuguese colonists began trading in Angola in the 15th century before another settlement was established at Luanda, the country`s capital in the 16th century. Right from 1655, Angola became a Portuguese colony, and was a peaceful colony until the quest for independence began.
The Angolan War of Independence began on the 4th of February, 1961, and ended in 1974. The country gained independence a year after, on the 11th of November, 1975. Just a few months after independence, a civil war broke out in Angola and lasted until 2002. Angola is bordered by the Republic of the Congo to the far northwest, the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the north and northeast, and by Zambia to the southeast. To the south is Namibia, and to the west is the Atlantic Ocean. With a population of over 32 million people, Angola has various ethnic groups, some of which are the Bantu, the Ovimbundu, the Kimbundu, and the Bakongo people. Among the country`s numerous ethnic groups, there are about 50 languages, however, Portuguese is the country`s official language. The most common religions in Angola are Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and traditional religions, however, it is highly populated with Christians.

Comoros, officially the Union of Comoros, is an island country in the Indian Ocean, at the northern end of the Mozambique Channel off the eastern coast of Africa. It shares maritime borders with Madagascar and Mayotte to the southeast, Tanzania to the northwest, Mozambique to the west, and Seychelles to the northeast. Its capital and largest city is Moroni. The islands from northwest to southeast include Grande Comore, Mohéli, Anjouan, and Mayotte. The religion of the majority of the population, and the official state religion, is Sunni Islam. As a member of the Arab League, it is the only country in the Arab world that is entirely in the Southern Hemisphere. It is also a member state of the African Union, the Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie, the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, and the Indian Ocean Commission. The country has three official languages: Comorian, French, and Arabic.
Comoros was first settled by Bantu speakers from East Africa, Arabs, and Austronesians. It then became part of the French colonial empire during the 19th century, before its independence in 1975. Since then, it has experienced more than 20 coups or attempted coups, with various heads of state assassinated. Along with this constant political instability, it has the worst income inequality of any nation, with a Gini coefficient of over 60%, and ranks in the worst quartile on the Human Development Index. As of 2008, about half the population lived below the international poverty line of US$1.25 a day. The French insular region of Mayotte, the most prosperous territory in the Mozambique Channel, is a major destination for migrants from the independent islands.

Welcome to the Comoros Islands

#COMOROS #AFRICA #TRAVEL

Welcome to Kids adventures in Africa channel. This week we explore a tiny island nation known for its perfumes, humongous scary fish and lots of lava action. Welcome to the beautiful Comoros Islands.

The Comoros is an archipelago of volcanic islands off the east coast of Africa. It lies in the warm Indian Ocean waters between Mozambique and Madagascar.

The name Comoro comes from the Arabic word for “moon” but the residents call their country Masiwa, which means “the Islands”. The weather here is typical island climate - tropical and humid.

Moroni is the capital city. The name means "the heart of the fire". And it's so named because the cityi sits at the foot of Mount Karthala, an active volcano that erupts once every decade. Due to volcanic activity, the islands have no indegenous mammals or reptiles except for bat's.

But what it lacks in mammals it more than makes up for in sea life. The Comoros host the largest population of coelacanths in the world. This rare and poisonous fish can grow up 2metres long. Comorians call it kombessa and have traditionally used its rough, tough scales as sandpaper, for roughening bicycle tyres when mending a puncture.

The reefs surrounding the Comoro Islands, especially those of the Mohéli National Park, are among the most vibrant in the world. Green turtles, dolphins, manta rays, rock lobsters, and seasonal humpback whales are very common.


Close to a million people call the comoros home, making the island the 4th smallest country in africa. Comorians speak Shikomori, which means the language of the islands. when you want to say hello in Shikomori you say, Yedje!

Most Comorians are farmers and close to 2 thirds of the population live in rural areas. Their cuisine consists mainly of seafood, rice, cassava, and coconuts

Some people call the Comoros the perfume Islands. And it's a well deserved nickname. The Comoros Islands are the world's primary producer of Ylang Ylang. Ylang Ylang is the main ingredient in many world famous perfumes such as Chanel no.5.

Along with perfumes, the Comoros is also known for producing aromatic spices like cloves cardammon nutmeg and vanilla. It's the world's 2nd largest producer of vanilla after Madagascar.

The trees of the island are also aromatic. Especially the highly valued sandalwood tree which Comorians grind into a paste called m'sinndanu. And apply on their faces as sunscreen.

and that's it for the Comoros Islands. Give us a thumb s up if you've learnt something new. And join us next time as we visit the Republic of Congo!

The Comoros is a volcanic archipelago off Africa’s east coast, in the warm Indian Ocean waters of the Mozambique Channel. The nation state’s largest island, Grande Comore (Ngazidja) is ringed by beaches and old lava from active Mt. Karthala volcano. Around the port and medina in the capital, Moroni, are carved doors and a white colonnaded mosque, the Ancienne Mosquée du Vendredi, recalling the islands’ Arab heritage.

One of the main ingredients in perfumes produced and sold around the world comes from the remote Comoros Islands in the Indian Ocean. That ingredient is ylang-ylang, and the people who produce the flower oil are asking for a larger share of the profits. Ruud Elmendorp reports from the Comoros capital, Moroni.
