Living In The Comoros Islands: The World Between Madagascar And Mozambique ~ By Martin And Harriet Ottenheimer Return To Issue Article Index Living In The Comoros Islands The World Between Madagascar And Mozambique~ By Martin And Harriet Ottenheimer The first thing that strikes the visitor to Anjouan is the sheer beauty of the island. From its stretches of black, sandy beaches to its nearly mile-high central peakoften shrouded in mistthe island is truly a tropical jewel set in a sparkling sea. Anjouan is just one of the Comoro islands, and it was our home for a year and a half in the 1960s. Located at the northern end of the Mozambique Channel, halfway between Mozambique and Madagascar, the Comoros are an archipelago of small volcanic islands. The four main islands are Grande Comore (seat of the capital, Moroni), Moheli, Anjouan, and Mayotte. In the 1960s the Comoros were still an Overseas Territory of France, administered by a French High Commissioner. They were more isolated than any place we had ever been. To travel there, we had to fly from East Africa to Madagascar first. There were no direct connections from Africa to the Comoros, not to mention Europe or Asia. Anjouan is a lush tropical island with an extinct volcano at its core. Rare, colorful birds abound, Livingstone bats (found nowhere else in the world) thrive in the mountainous fern forests, and furry, large-eyed lemurs can be enticed into sitting on your shoulders. The luxuriant growth of wild tropical plants combines with cultivated farmlands to provide spectacular vistas at every turn. Breadfruit, taro, manioc, pigeon peas, coconut, mangos, avocados, lychees, papayas, citrus fruits, and more augment cultivated mountain rice to provide daily sustenance. Ylang-ylang, basilic, and jasmine flowers perfume the air and together with vanilla, cinnamon, and cloves provide cash crops for export. Cattle, goats, and chickens, supplement the wide variety of fish available in the ocean waters. Small rivers cascade down the mountains, splashing over waterfalls on their way to the seashore, providing fresh water as well as popular spots for doing one's laundry.

Romantic the name may be, but the Comoros, an archipelago of four large islands halfway between the coast of East Africa and the northern tip of the island of Madagascar, has a most unsavoury reputation in the last three decades. With 600,000 people squeezed onto 2170 sq km, the Comoros are a very small and crowded island chain, perhaps with more coups per capita per year than any country in the world. Since independence from France in 1975, no less than twenty coups or attempted coups d’etat had occurred, with the first coup occurring less than one month after independence. The first two presidents were brutally killed in coups, and South Africa-backed white mercenaries ruled the country behind the presidential throne for much of 1970’s and 1980’s. Political and natural disasters continue to plague the country, till this very day.

var static_ko="19228"; var static_section="201"; var static_langue="en"; 2004: Slavery Abolition Year History of Slavery Transatlantic Slave Trade The Slave Trade in the Indian Ocean ... Search Print Send The Slave Trade in the Indian Ocean The societies of the Indian Ocean (Comoros, Madagascar, Mauritius, Reunion, Seychelles, etc.) came into being at different epochs through the migrations of populations from Africa, Asia and Europe as well as the slave trade from time immemorial. Thus, since before colonization, the system of slavery was present in the islands of the Indian Ocean, particularly in Madagascar and the Comoros Islands where slaves were brought by Swahili traders from the east coast of Africa. The arrival of Europeans in the Indian Ocean in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries heralded the start of an active slave trade which led to the Mascarene Islands being populated and exploited. Thus the system of slavery gave rise to a new society that was cut off from its roots. A new culture of an oral type developed throughout the period of slavery, since slaves were forbidden to read and write up to the time of the abolitions. The suppression of slavery did not mean the end of social discrimination because servility persisted in the form of sub-types of servitude such as recruiting, day-labouring and share-cropping. Nowadays these societies consist of an entanglement of groups of individuals that have crossbred in contact with the cultural models present. A cultural basis has accordingly taken shape over the centuries when the country was more or less voluntarily populated : the racial mix has lent a specific cultural identity to each Indo-Oceanic society, and this continues to evolve through additional influences. At the same time, however, different components of these societies have retained, not to say renewed, certain aspects of the mother cultures.

32. Culture: Three Continents – One History?: UNESCO mixed Bantu and Omani Arab origin and it is their culture and language peoples remainon Zanzibar, as well as a sizeable population from the comoros islands. http://portal.unesco.org/en/ev.php@URL_ID=18180&URL_DO=DO_PRINTPAGE&URL_SECTION=

Culture: Three continents – one history? Encounters between civilizations have not always been peaceful, on the contrary. The slave trade, which lasted more than three centuries, is one of the darkest chapters of human history and forged strong and ambivalent bonds between Europe, Africa and the Americas. Since 1994, UNESCO’s “Slave Route” project has been exploring this common past. RETRACING THE SLAVE ROUTES? The talking drums of Accra University beat out a chill warning: Slave raiders are coming. Arise and flee. Quickly, quickly, quickly. Ghanian students were recalling for our cameras the days when – despite such real warnings – millions of Africans were seized and shipped to a life of bondage in the New World. These so-called ‘Slave Routes’ stretched from the African interior to the coastal slave markets of present-day Angola, Benin, Ghana, and Senegal, then over the Atlantic to the islands of the Caribbean, coastal Brazil and the southern United States. We were retracing these routes – filming as we went – across West Africa as part of UNESCO’s Slave Route Project, and began our journey at Ouida in Benin. Now a sleepy coastal town, Ouida was an early center of the trans-Atlantic slave trade. A huge tree shades what once was a busy slave market, where slaves were auctioned off like cattle and then marched down a track to the sea shore. Today modern memorials recalling the inhumanity of the slave trade line the route of the slaves’ last journey on African soil. And a large monument marks the spot where they were loaded onto ships for their trans-Atlantic crossing to the New World. It is known as the Gate of No Return.
