Evidence (2024-03-03): The Glorieuses or Glorioso Islands (French: Îles Glorieuses or officially also Archipel des Glorieuses) are a group of islands and rocks totaling 5 square kilometres (1.9 sq mi). They are controlled by France as part of the Scattered Islands in the Indian Ocean in the French Southern and Antarctic Lands, a French overseas territory, but are also claimed by Comoros, Madagascar and formerly by Seychelles. They are geographically part of the Comoro Islands between the French overseas region of Mayotte and the nation of Madagascar. [...] While probably earlier known to Arab (perhaps especially Yemeni) navigators, the Glorieuses were named and settled in 1880 by a Frenchman, Hippolyte Caltaux, who established a coconut plantation on Grande Glorieuse. The archipelago became a French possession in 1892[2] when Captain Richard of the Primauget made a formal claim. In 1895, the Glorioso Island became a part of the colony of Mayotte and dependencies. [...] From 1914 to 1958, concessions to exploit the islands were given to Seychelles companies. The islands are today nature reserves with a meteorological station garrisoned by the French Foreign Legion.[4] Despite the Glorioso Islands never having been a part of the Malagasy Protectorate but a part of the colony of Mayotte and dependencies, then a part of French Comoros, Madagascar has claimed sovereignty over the islands since 1972.[5] The Comoros claims Mayotte and Glorioso Islands.[6] The Seychelles claimed the islands too before the France–Seychelles Maritime Boundary Agreement in 2001.

Evidence (2021-07-27): The rich waters around the Glorioso Islands—a small but biologically significant territory in the western Indian Ocean between the Seychelles and Madagascar—recently became France’s newest marine protected area.

All types of fishing and extractive activity, such as mining, are prohibited within these areas. [...] Conservation International includes the Glorioso Islands on its list of 36 hot spots for global biodiversity. The islands’ waters, which feature approximately 450 square kilometers (174 square miles) of reef cover that is home to over 2,500 species, are a key breeding site for green and hawksbill turtles, humpback whales, and several species of seabirds.

Evidence (2024-05-10): This month offers up another one of the ultra-rare ones: Glorioso Islands, a 1.9-square-mile French overseas territory about 120 miles northwest of Madagascar. It is currently ranked #7 globally, #3 in South America, #6 in Asia, #15 in Europe, #17 in Africa, #4 in Oceania, and #2 on North America’s West Coast per Clublog. Glorioso Islands was last officially on the air in September/October 2009 during the six-operator FT5GA DXpedition, which netted 50,000-plus CW, SSB, and digital QSOs. Glorioso Islands (IOTA AF-011)—part of the Scattered Islands in the Indian Ocean in the French Southern and Antarctic Lands—is scheduled to be put on the air by Marek, FH4VVK, using the call sign FT4GL. An operation to Glorioso by FH4VVK was postponed in December 2023 and delayed again in March 2024. While he’ll be setting foot on the island alone, he is receiving assistance from a team of supporters along with pilots who will help him secure as many QSOs as possible during his time on the island, May 24 to June 19. FH4VVK plans to operate on 160-6M in SSB, RTTY, and FT4/FT8 from Grande Glorioso, the largest of the Glorioso Islands. The DXpedition was made possible through an agreement of the French Southern and Antarctic Lands. In 2012, France designated a 17,000-square-mile area around the islands as the Glorioso Islands Marine Natural Park. This maritime protected area was established to preserve the biodiverse flora and fauna of the islands, including humpback whales, green sea turtles, and nearly 350 species of coral reef fish.

Australia administers three territories: Cocos Islands and Christmas Island in the northeastern Indian Ocean and the Heard Island and McDonald Islands in the southern Indian Ocean. Andaman and Nicobar Islands in the Bay of Bengal is administered by India. South Africa oversees the Prince Edward Islands, just south of the country’s coast.

It has expressed interest in exploring the possibility of comanaging disputed islands and their surrounding waters with Madagascar, while its dispute with Comoros remains a challenge in the bilateral relationship. Despite its record in the South China Sea, China has no territorial disputes in the Indian Ocean.

Evidence (2024-06-26): Discover the Glorioso Islands, an archipelago within an archipelago, which consists of Grande Glorieuse to the south and Île du Lys… a true desert island. To be strictly accurate, the archipelago also includes two small islets which neighbour Grande Glorieuse, the aptly named Roches Vertes (Green Rocks) and Île aux Crabes (Crab Island). Four parcels of land protected by a lagoon which dries up at low tide. Some of the mariners who visited the Indies during the 16th century were doubtless aware of the existence of these islands, however, their histories did not begin until Hippolyte Caltaux came across them in 1879. He was the one who named these islands, in homage no doubt to the 1830 revolution which he wanted to honour in the faraway Indian Ocean. Copra from his coconut grove and guano from the Île du Lys was then traded along the trading routes until 1907.

Evidence (2024-09-10): Island of Šarengrad (Croatian: Šarengradska ada, Serbian Cyrillic: Шаренградска ада, pronounced [ʃǎreŋgratskaː ǎːda] or [-ǎda]) is a Danube river island situated close to the village of Šarengrad in Croatia.[1] It covers an area of 9 km2 (3.5 sq mi).[2] The old riverbed of the Danube caused problems for navigation due to its heavy bending in this area.

Evidence (2024-10-08): Portugal's last overseas territory, Macau, was peacefully handed over to China in 1999. In 2002, the independence of East Timor (Asia) was formally recognized by Portugal. In 1995, Portugal started to implement Schengen Area rules, eliminating border controls with other Schengen members. Expo '98 took place in Portugal and in 1999 it was one of the founding countries of the euro and eurozone. In 2004 José Manuel Barroso, the then Prime Minister of Portugal, was nominated President of the European Commission. On 1 December 2009 the Treaty of Lisbon entered into force, enhancing the efficiency and democratic legitimacy of the Union. Economic disruption and an unsustainable growth in government debt during the financial crisis of 2007–2008 led the country to negotiate in 2011 with the IMF and the European Union, through the European Financial Stability Mechanism and the European Financial Stability Facility, a loan to help the country stabilize its finances.

Evidence (2024-07-08): According to historic and archeological finding, Avars arrived to Central Europe from the middle Eurasian steppes in 6th century. In 200 years of their rule until the downfall of the Avar Khaganate they have left significant trace, both in material goods and archeological findings that can be seen on many excavation sites in the Pannonian basin. Still, very little is known of their migratory patterns, genetic history and impact on the genetic structure of contemporary Europeans. Very few recent genetic studies of different Avar groups from Central Europe confirmed their most likely Asian origin as seen in the higher frequencies of Asian mtDNA and Y chromosome haplogroups, but the level of admixture with different Avar and other populations remains mostly unsolved. Furthermore, the genetic data of Avars from the Croatian territory is completely missing and their link to other Avar or Slavic social groups is still unknown. This project will aim to investigate genetic data of individuals from Šarengrad cemetery dated to the late Avar period (8th century), excavated in the easternmost Croatian territory, by using next generation sequencing technology (NGS) that has recently revolutionized the study of ancient DNA.

Croatian and Serbian, official in Croatia and Serbia respectively, are mutually intelligible standard varieties of the Serbo-Croatian language. Between the two states, 186,633 Serbs live in Croatia with 57,900 Croats living in Serbia (as of 2011).[1][2] [...] Border dispute [edit]Due to the meandering of the Danube, the eastern border of Baranya with Serbia according to cadastral delineation is not followed, as each country controls territory on their side of the main river flow. Further south, near Vukovar and near Šarengrad, there are two river islands (Island of Vukovar and Island of Šarengrad) which have been part of SR Croatia (during Yugoslavia) but during the war they came under Serbian control.
