avocados are also everyday foods. Goat, couscous, and spices are eaten on special
occasions.

The main broadcasting station is nation owned. The few people that
have televisions are all able to receive the same channels and
programs.

Most of the radio stations are small. So, people are able
to get local stories and music popular to their
area.

There are only four airports in the country. Little flying is done
(compared to larger countries) and people may have to travel by land
afterward to get where they’re going.

Comoros doesn’t have as many natural resources as other places and they aren’t
self-sufficient in their food production. The country relies widely on imports.

There is a high unemployment rate. There is also low economic activity because many people don’t have
much money to spend and put back into the system.

Comoros has an increasingly young population. There aren’t enough jobs for all of the young
adults joining the workforce .

The main political issue throughout the history of Comoros is they were constantly being invaded because they were a small, developing country.
Today their main issue is poverty because it contributes to deaths, illiteracy, and
unemployment.

There is not a lot of racial tension in Comoros because
most people practice the same religion and are the
same race. However, there was some trouble just before their independence. Not all of
the islands wanted independence and Mayotte
was especially defiant.

invaded more often than the USA and has less technology usage. The foods of both countries are different. Both countries are very different, but they
both have rich cultures.
