2. Comoros Is Known as The Perfumed Island of The World
Comoros is the second largest producer of vanilla in the world and is also a huge exporter of ylang-ylang and cloves. Those unfamiliar with ylang-ylang might recognize it as one of the important essencesan endemic plant species in Comoros. Its oil is used as base oil for perfumes. Despite its use in perfumes, it is an essential oil with plenty of medicinal values. One of its important therapeutic applications is in aromatherapy.Apart from aromatherapy, it also has anti-depressant, antiseptic and aphrodisiac properties.

3. Comoros Has Experienced 20 Coup D’états
Since declaring independence from France in 1975, Comoros has experienced more than 20 coups d’état or attempted coups, with various heads of state assassinated. The coups have usually passed bloodlessly, with a recent failed coup-leader “believed to have dressed up as a woman trying to escape by boat to the nearby French-run island of Mayotte,” according to Reuters.The routine appears to bea new president takes power and fires people who worked for his predecessor. These disgruntled miscreants then attempt to take power by force, if successful, the people who worked for the first president will be fired. If unsuccessful, the would-be president flees to Mayotte in drag. Quite an interesting cycle of power there in Comoros right.
4. Comoros Is A True Natural Touristic Heaven
With its crystalline blue waters and white sandy beaches, Comoros is largely unexposed to tourism. This is because of its past as a turbulent political volcano with coups and counter-coups. Thus, it has not been etched in the global tourist circuit. However, with peace and stability that has been experienced over the last decade, fortunes are changing in favor of Comoros.Those who visit Comoros keep visiting again and again. The small number of tourists keeps swelling year after year. It is now deeply etched in the East African tourist circuit where you can get to experience marine life after the Savannah excursions in Kenya, Tanzania, and Mozambique.
5. Comoros Offers One of The World’s Largest Coral Atolls
Comoros coral reefs are simply a marine paradise. They are unrivaled and parades hundreds of fish species, shells, and corals.This offers great opportunity for scuba diving and snorkeling with great chances of seeing large turtles, manta rays, marline and whale sharks, among others.

Thanks for making the video about Comoros but you used some images that don't belong to Comoros. In fact 20 Coups d'Etat or attempted coups happened in Comoros but those coups or attempted coups didn't change the peace of the country. Those coups are mostly made by foreign forces who have been sent to destabilize the country but the population is still peaceful, we have never accepted to have rebellion or civil war to kill each other. So the people who watched this video, if you wanna visit Comoros, you don't need to worry about your safety because almost everyone is friendly and peaceful.

This video does not show any structures, homes, hotels, buildings, streets, churches, schools etc that would make it unique- just beach and and foliage like any other island.
