### Settlement

Mwakuyana na vidokoni, jinni (mzimu) wakaponya libwe lakuzirwa, ilo likapangiska moto ukuru. Ici cikazgoka phiri la Karthala, ilo likapangiska cirwa ca Grande Comore. Ŵanyake ŵakuti Themba Solomoni nalo likaluta ku chirwa ichi.

Ŵanthu ŵakwambilira awo ŵakakhalanga mu virwa vya Comoro ŵakamanyikwa kuti ŵakaŵa ŵanthu ŵa ku Austronesia awo ŵakendanga pa boti kufuma ku virwa vya ku Southeast Asia. Ŵanthu aŵa ŵakafika mu vyaka vya m'ma 700 C.E., apo pakaŵa malo ghakale chomene agho ŵakasanga ku Mayotte.

Ŵanthu ŵanyake awo ŵakaluta ku malo agha ŵakafuma kumafumiro gha dazi kwa Africa, ku Arabia, ku Persian Gulf, ku Malaŵi, na ku Madagascar. Ŵanthu awo ŵakayowoyanga ciyowoyero ca Bantu ŵakakhalanga pa virwa ivi kufuma waka apo ŵanthu ŵakambira kukhazikika, ndipo ŵakwenera kuti ŵakiza na ŵazga.

Vyaru vya Comoros vikupangika mu vigaŵa viŵiri. Nyengo yakwambilira iyo ŵanthu ŵakakhalanga pa chirwa ichi ni nyengo ya Dembeni (cha m'ma 700 C.E. m'paka 10 C.E.). Kwambira mu nyengo ya 11 m'paka 15 C.E., malonda na ŵanthu ŵa ku Madagascar kweniso ŵamalonda ŵa ku Swahili Coast na Middle East ŵakakura chomene. Ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵa ku Comoros ŵali kufuma ku chirwa cha Arabia, chomenechomene ku Hadhramaut.

### Medieval Comoros
Mbiri yikulongora kuti mu 632, ŵanthu ŵa pa chirwa ichi ŵakati ŵapulika vya cisopa ca Ciisilamu, ŵakatuma nthumi yawo, Mtswa-Mwindza, ku Mecca. Kweni apo iyo wakafikanga, nchimi ya Ciisilamu, Muhammad, yikaŵa kuti yafwa. Ndipouli, wakati wakhalako nyengo yicoko waka ku Mecca, wakawelera ku Ngazidja ndipo wakadangilira kuti ŵanthu ŵa pa cirwa ici ŵambe kusopa Cisilamu.

Mu 933, ŵanthu ŵa ku Oman ŵakamba kuchema Comoros kuti Virwa vya Mafuta.

Mu mabuku ghakwambilira gha ku East Africa, mabuku gha Al-Masudi ghakulongosora nthowa zakwendamo malonda za chisopa cha Chisilamu, kweniso umo Ŵasilamu ŵakenderanga mumphepete mwa nyanja na virwa ivi. Ŵakapelekaso cisopa ca Ciislam ku ŵanthu ŵa ku Zanj kusazgapo Comoros. Apo Comoros yikakuranga mumphepete mwa nyanja ya East Africa, ŵakazenga visopo vikuru na vichoko wuwo. Virwa vya Comoros vikaŵa vya ŵanthu ŵa ku Swahili ndipo vikaŵa malo ghakurughakuru ghakwendeskera malonda, kweniso ghakaŵa na misumba yinandi ya malonda nga ni Kilwa, ku Tanzania, Sofala (malo agho ŵakaguliskiranga golide ku Zimbabwe), Mozambique, na Mombasa ku Kenya.

Ŵanthu ŵa ku Portugal ŵakiza ku virwa vya ku Indian Ocean kuumaliro wa vyaka vya m'ma 1400 C.E. Ŵanthu ŵa ku Portugal ŵakamba kwiza ku virwa ivi na boti la Vasco da Gama mu 1503. Mu vyaka vya m'ma 1500 C.E., virwa ivi vikapeleka vyakurya ku ŵanthu ŵa ku Portugal ku Mozambique.

Kuumaliro wa vyaka vya m'ma 1500, ŵalongozgi ŵa ku malo agha ŵakamba kuthereska Ŵachidachi na Ŵapwitikizi. Muhaliri wake Said bin Sultan wakasazgirako mazaza gha Ŵaarabu ŵa ku Oman mu cigaŵa ici, ndipo wakasamuskira boma lake ku Zanzibar. Ndipouli, Comoros ghakaŵa ghacilendo, ndipo nangauli virwa vitatu vikuruvikuru vikaŵa vyakukolerana, kweni cirwa cikuru comene, Ngazidja, cikagaŵika mu maufumu ghanandi.

Apo ŵa ku Europe ŵakamba kutemwa virwa vya Comoros, ŵanthu ŵa ku virwa ivi ŵakamba kugwiliskira nchito makora mwaŵi uwu, ndipo pakwamba ŵakagwiliskiranga nchito maboti agho ghakalutanga ku India, comene-comene gha Cingelezi, ndipo pamanyuma ŵakagwiliskiranga nchito ŵazga mu virwa vya ku Mascarenes.

### European contact and French colonisation

Mu vyaka vya m'ma 1800, ŵasilikari ŵa ku Madagascar, comenecomene Betsimisaraka na Sakalava, ŵakamba kuwukira virwa vya Comoros kuti ŵasange ŵazga ndipo virwa ivi vikabwangandulika cifukwa vyakurya vikaparanyika ndipo ŵanthu ŵakakomeka, ŵakatolekera ku wuzga panji ŵakacimbilira ku Africa. Ŵanthu ŵakakhalanga pa virwa ivi na ŵazga awo ŵakafuma ku virwa vikuruvikuru. Mu 1865, ku Comoros, ŵanthu pafupifupi 40% ŵakaŵa ŵazga.

France yikamba kulamulira ku Comoros pakutora Mayotte mu 1841 apo Sakalava uyo wakaŵa sultan Andriantsoly [fr] (uyo wakamanyikwaso na zina lakuti Tsy Levalo) wakalemba phangano la April 1841, ilo likapeleka cirwa ku boma la France.

Nyengo yeneyiyo, Ndzwani (panji Johanna nga umo ŵanthu ŵa ku Britain ŵakamumanyiranga) wakalutilira kuŵa malo ghakwenderako ŵamalonda ŵa ku England awo ŵakalutanga ku India na ku Far East, kweniso ŵalovi ŵa vikoko ŵa ku America. Vinthu vinyake ivyo vikatoleka ku Comoros ni ŵazga, kokosoni, makuni, ng'ombe, na viŵiya vinyake. Ŵanthu ŵa ku France, makampani gha ku France, na ŵamalonda ŵasambazi ŵa ku Arabia ŵakamba kulima minda. Pamasinda pakuti Mayotte wapokeka na France, charu ichi chikazgoka malo ghakupandamo shuga. Virwa vinyake navyo vikasintha, ndipo vyakurya vikuruvikuru nga ni ylang-ylang, vanilla, cloves, vyakumera vyakununkhira, khofi, mbuto za koko, na sisal vikamba kulima.

Mu 1886, Mwali wakaŵikika pasi pa kuvikilirika na Ŵafarisi. Mu chaka chenechicho, Sultan Said Ali wa ku Bambao, uyo wakaŵa yumoza wa mafumu gha Ngazidja, wakaŵika chilumba ichi mu mawoko gha Ŵafalansa. Mu 1908, virwa ivi vikaŵa na boma limoza (Colonie de Mayotte et dépendances) ndipo vikaŵa pasi pa muwuso wa kazembe mukuru wa ku Madagascar. Mu 1909, Sultan Said Muhamed wa ku Ndzwani wakaleka ufumu wake na kwamba kulamulira ku France. Mu 1912, boma la Madagascar likamara kulamulira virwa ivi.

Mu 1973, ŵakazomerezgana na France kuti Comoros yiŵe yakujiyimira paŵekha mu 1978, nangauli ŵimiliri ŵa boma la Mayotte ŵakazomerezga kuti charu ichi chiŵe pamoza na France. Pa virwa vyose vinayi, ŵakacita phangano la ŵanthu wose. Vyaru vitatu vikazomera kuti vijiyimire vyekha, kweni vyaru vinyake vitatu vikazomera yayi. Ndipouli, pa Julayi 6, 1975, nyumba ya malango ya Comoros yikapeleka dango lakuti charu ichi chiŵe na wanangwa wakujiyimira. Ahmed Abdallah wakapharazga wanangwa wa Comorian State (État comorien; دولة القمر) ndipo wakaŵa purezidenti wakwamba. Ŵacifurenci ŵakazomera boma liphya ili.

### Kujilamulila (1975)

Vyaka 30 vyakulondezgapo vikaŵa vyamahara. Pa 3 Ogasiti, 1975, mwezi umoza yayi kufuma apo boma likapokera wanangwa, pulezidenti Ahmed Abdallah wakawuskika pa udindo wake na kuwuskako munthu munyake uyo wakaŵa wa United National Front of the Comoros (FNUK) zina lake Said Mohamed Jaffar. Pakati pajumpha myezi yichoko waka, mu Janyuwale 1976, Jaffar wakawuskika pa udindo na kwamba kuteŵetera nga nduna yake ya vya kuvikilira charu, Ali Soilih.

Mu nyengo iyi, ŵanthu ŵa ku Mayotte ŵakavota katatu kuti ŵafumeko ku France. Pa ungano wakwamba uwo ukacitika pa virwa vyose pa 22 Disembala 1974, ŵanthu 63.8% ŵakakolerana kuti Mayotte walutilire kuŵa na ubwezi na France. Virwa vitatu ivyo vikakhalako, ivyo vikawusikanga na Pulezidenti Soilih, vikamba kulondezga fundo za wupu wakulongozga na wa kusama. Pa Meyi 13, 1978, Bob Denard, uyo wakapemphekaso na wupu wa French Intelligence Service (SDECE), wakawelera kuti wawuskemo pulezidenti Soilih na kuwezgerapo Abdallah na wovwiri wa maboma gha France, Rhodesia na South Africa. Ali Soilih ŵakamukora na kumukoma masabata ghacoko waka pamanyuma pake.

Mwakupambana na Soilih, muwuso wa Abdallah ukaŵa na muwuso wa wupu wakulongozga na kukolerana na Chisilamu cha maluso ndipo chalo ichi chikasinthika zina kuŵa Federal Islamic Republic of the Comoros (République Fédérale Islamique des Comores; République القمر الإتحادية الإسلامية). Bob Denard wakaŵa mulaŵiliri wakwamba wa Abdallah Abderamane; wakucemeka "Viceroy of the Comoros", ndipo nyengo zinyake wakawonekanga nga ni munthu wankhongono wa boma. Kufupi comene na South Africa, uko kukawovwiranga "ŵalinda ŵa pulezidenti", wakazomerezga kuti Paris wajumphe dango la pa caru cose lakukanizga boma la apartheid kwizira mwa Moroni. Kweniso wakambiska gulu la ŵasilikari ŵakugwilira nchito pa msonkho kufuma ku virwa ivi. Abdallah wakalutilira kuŵa pulezidenti mpaka mu 1989 apo wakawopa kuti boma lingamuwukira, ndipo wakalemba dango lakuti ŵapolisi ŵa boma, awo ŵakalongozgekanga na Bob Denard, ŵaleke kuvikilira ŵasilikari. Pakati pajumpha nyengo yicoko waka, Abdallah wakakomeka mu ofesi yake na mulara wa ŵasilikari uyo wakaŵa na citima, kweni pamanyuma pake ŵanthu ŵanyake ŵakayowoya kuti ŵakamuwukira na futi. Nangauli Denard nayo wakapwetekeka, kweni ŵanthu ŵakukayika usange uyo wakakoma Abdallah wakaŵa msilikari uyo wakaŵa pasi pake.

Pakati pajumpha mazuŵa ghacoko waka, ŵasilikari ŵa ku France ŵakamutolera ku South Africa. Said Mohamed Djohar, mubali mulara wa Soilih, wakazgoka purezidenti, ndipo wakateŵetera mpaka Seputembala 1995, apo Bob Denard wakawelera na kuyezga kupoka boma. Pa nyengo iyi, caru ca France cikaŵawovwira na ŵasilikari ŵa parachute na kucicizga Denard kuti wajipeleke. Ŵacifurenci ŵakamufumiska Djohar na kuluta nayo ku Reunion, ndipo Mohamed Taki Abdoulkarim, uyo wakawovwirika na boma la Paris, wakaŵa pulezidenti. Wakalongozga caru kufuma mu 1996, mu nyengo ya masuzgo gha ŵantchito, kukanizgika kwa boma, na nkhondo za kulekana, mpaka apo wakafwira mu Novembala 1998. Wakalongozgeka na Pulezidenti wa nyengo yichoko Tadjidine Ben Said Massounde.

Virwa vya Ndzwani na Mwali vikajiyimira vyekha mu 1997, pakukhumba kuwezgerapo muwuso wa France. Kweni caru ca France cikakana, ndipo ici cikapangiska kuti ŵasilikari ŵa boma na ŵakugaluka ŵakumane. Mu Epulero 1999, Colonel Azali Assoumani, Chief of Staff wa Army, wakapoka mazaza mwa kuwukira boma kwambura kuthiska ndopa, na kuwuskapo Pulezidenti wa nyengo yeneyiyo Massounde, chifukwa cha kupeleŵera kwa ŵalongozgi mu suzgo. Uwu ukaŵa utimbanizgi wa 18 wa Comoros kufuma apo charu ichi chikapokera wanangwa mu 1975.

Azali wakatondeka kukhozga mazaza ghake na kwambaso kulamulira virwa ivi. Wupu wa African Union, pasi pa muwuso wa Pulezidenti Thabo Mbeki wa ku South Africa, ukaŵika vyeruzgo pa Ndzwani kuti wawovwirepo pa kudumbiskana na kupembuzga. Kuyana na fundo za Fomboni Accords, izo ŵalongozgi ŵa virwa vyose vitatu ŵakalemba mu Disembala 2001, zina la boma ili likasinthika kuŵa Union of the Comoros. Mulara wa wupu uwu, nangauli wakusankhika pa maungano gha pa caru cose, kweni wakusankhika kufuma pa cigaŵa cilicose ca virwa ivi.

Azali wakafumapo mu boma mu 2002 kuti wakaŵepo pa mavoti gha pulezidenti wa Comoros, ndipo wakathereska. Pa nyengo iyo boma la Comoros likaŵa na mazaza pa charu chose, Azali wakaŵa mulongozgi wa ŵasilikari ndipo nyengo zose wakaŵanga wa demokilase yayi. Mu 2005, boma likapeleka dango lakuti wupu uliwose ukwenera kuchita mulimo wake. Mu 2006, Ahmed Abdallah Mohamed Sambi ndiyo wakathereska mavoti. Azali wakachindika ivyo vikachitika pa mavoti, ndipo ici cikawovwira kuti paŵe mtende na demokilase mu virwa ivi.

Colonel Mohammed Bacar, uyo wakasambizgika ku France ndipo wakaŵa kazembe wa Ndzwani mu 2001, wakakana kufumapo pa udindo wake. Wakachita voti mu Juni 2007 kuti wakhazikiske muwuso wake uwo ukazomerezgeka yayi na boma la Comoros na African Union. Pa 25 Malichi 2008 ŵasilikari ŵanandi ŵa African Union na Comoros ŵakakora Ndzwani uyo wakaŵa mu mawoko gha ŵasilikari, ndipo ŵanthu ŵakamuzomera.
Ŵalwani ŵanyake ŵakafwa na kupwetekeka, kweni palije maukaboni agho ghakulongora. Ŵanthu 11 ŵakapwetekeka. Ŵalaraŵalara ŵanyake ŵa boma ŵakakakika. Bacar wakacimbilira ku Mayotte na boti la matayala kuti wakapemphe cisungusungu. Ku Comoros kukachitika viwawa vyakwimikana na France (wonani Anjouan). Paumaliro, Bacar wakapika wanangwa wa kukhala ku Benin.

Kwambira apo Comoros yikapokera wanangwa kufuma ku France, pakaŵa ŵanthu ŵakujumpha 20 awo ŵakayezga kutimbanizga boma.

Pambuyo pa chisankho cha kumapeto kwa chaka cha 2010, wachiwiri kwa purezidenti wakale Ikililou Dhoinine adaloledwa kukhala purezidenti pa 26 Meyi 2011. Munthu wa chipani chakulongozga, Dhoinine wakawovwirika na pulezidenti wa sono Ahmed Abdallah Mohamed Sambi. Dhoinine, uyo wakasambira vya munkhwala, ni pulezidenti wakwamba wa Comoros kufuma ku cirwa ca Mwali. Pambuyo pa zisankho za 2016, Azali Assoumani, kuchokera ku Ngazidja, adakhala purezidenti kwa nthawi yachitatu. Mu 2018 Azali wakachita referendum pa kusintha kwa malango agho ghangazomerezga kuti pulezidenti wateŵetere nyengo ziŵiri. Vinthu ivi vikapokelereka nangauli ŵakususkana navyo ndipo ŵakamukana. Mu April 2019, Azali wakasankhika kuŵa pulezidenti.

Mu Januwale 2020, mavoti gha chalo cha Comoros ghakaŵa gha chipani cha President Azali Assoumani, Convention for the Renewal of the Comoros, CRC. Pakakhumbikwiranga kuti paŵe ŵanthu ŵanandi mu Nyumba ya Malamulo, ico cikang'anamuranga kuti nkhongono zake zikasazgikiranga. CRC yikapoka malo 17 pa malo 24 mu nyumba ya malango.

Mu 2021, Comoros yikalemba na kuzomerezga phangano lakukanizga vilwero vya nyukiliya.

Mu 2023, Comoros yikacemeka kuŵa mulendo wambura kunjira mu ungano wa G7 ku Hiroshima.

## Makhalilo gha charu

Virwa vya Comoros ni Ngazidja (Grande Comore), Mwali (Mohéli) na Ndzwani (Anjouan), ivyo ni virwa vikuruvikuru vitatu mu Comoros. Virwa ivi vikumanyikwa na mazina ghawo mu ciyowoyero ca ku Comoros, nangauli ŵanthu ŵa ku vyaru vinyake ŵakugwiliskira nchito mazina ghawo gha Cifurenchi. Msumba ukuru wa Moroni uli pa Ngazidja. Chirwa ichi chili mu nyanja ya Indian Ocean, pakati pa Africa (pafupi na Mozambique na Tanzania) na Madagascar.

Charu ichi chili na malo ghakukwana 1,861 km2, ndipo ni chimoza mwa vyaru vichoko chomene pa charu chapasi. Comoros nayo wali na malo ghakukwana 320 km2 (120 sq mi) mu nyanja zake. Virwa ivi vili na mapiri ghatali kweniso tumapiri tuchokotuchoko.

Virwa vikuruvikuru ivi vili na ŵanthu ŵanandi chomene nga ni ivi:

Ngazidja ni msumba ukuru comene pa virwa vyose vya Comoros. Kweniso ni cirwa ciphya comene, ntheura pasi lake lili na malibwe. Cirwa ici chili na mapiri ghaŵiri, Karthala (ghakugolera) na La Grille (ghakugolera), ndipo palije dowoko liwemi. Mwali, uyo msumba wake ni Fomboni, ni cirwa cicoko comene pa virwa vikuruvikuru vinayi. Ndzwani, uwo msumba wake ukuru ni Mutsamudu, uli na kawonekero ka katatu ako kakupangika na mapiri ghatatu gha Shisiwani, Nioumakele na Jimilime agho ghakufuma pa Phiri la Ntingui.

Virwa vya Comoros vikaŵako cifukwa ca vimalibwe ivyo vikuphulika. Phiri la Karthala, ilo lili pa Ngazidja, ndilo lili pachanya chomene mu charu ichi. Mu chigaŵa ichi ndimo muli nkhorongo yikuru comene ya ku Comoros. Kartala ni phiri ilo lili na vimalibwe vinandi chomene pa charu chapasi. Mu 2005 apo phiri ili likawa, ŵanthu 40,000 ŵakachimbira, ndipo chiziŵa icho chikaŵa mu phiri ili chikabwanganduka.

Virwa vya Comoros vikumanyikwaso kuti ni Îles Éparses panji Îles éparses de l'océan indien (Virwa Vyakupambanapambana mu Nyanja ya Indian). Virwa vya Glorioso vikaŵa pasi pa boma la Comoros pambere chaka cha 1975 chindafike. Banc du Geyser, ni cirwa ico kale cikaŵa mu Comoros Archipelago, kweni sono cili pasi pa maji.

Mu mwezi wa Malichi, nyengo yakuzizima chomene pa nyengo ya vula (iyo yikuchemeka kuti kashkazi/kaskazi, kung'anamura chivula cha kumpoto, icho chikamba mu Novembala m'paka Epulero), ndipo mu nyengo yakuzizima chomene, nyengo yakuzizima iyo yikufuma mu Meyi m'paka Okutobala, kuzing'anamura chivula cha kumwera. Virwa ivi vikusuzgika na chimphepo.

### Biodiversity

Virwa vya Comoros ni malo agho ghali na nkhorongo. Mu 2018, charu ichi chikaŵa pa nambara 33 pa vyaru 172.

Mu Disembala 1952, cisomba cinyake cakucemeka coelacanth cikasangikaso mumphepete mwa nyanja ya Comoros. Ŵanthu ŵakagomezganga kuti mtundu uwu wa viyuni uli na vyaka 66 ndipo ukafwa kale chomene m'paka mu 1938, apo ukawonekera pa nyanja ya South Africa. Pakati pa 1938 na 1975, vikoko 84 vikakoleka na kulembeka.

### Protected areas

Boma la Comoros likaŵa la ŵasilikari, ndipo apo Azali Assoumani wakapelekanga mazaza kwa Ahmed Abdallah Mohamed Sambi mu Meyi 2006, likaŵa lakukondweska chomene.

Boma ndilo likuŵa na mazaza pa boma. Boma na pharalamende ndivyo vili na mazaza ghakulongozga. Mu ndime yakwamba ya dango ili muli fundo yakuti boma likwenera kulongozgeka na chisopa cha Cisilamu, kweniso kuti ŵanthu wose ŵa mu Comoros ŵakwenera kuŵa na wanangwa wakusankha. Chirwa chilichose (kuyana na mutu waciŵiri wa Dango) cili na wanangwa ukuru wa kujilongozga mu wupu wa European Union, kusazgapo kuŵa na malango ghaco ( panji Dango lakwamba), pulezidenti, na Nyumba ya Malamulo.

Pa Meyi 16, 2009, pakachitika ungano wa ŵanthu wose kuti ŵamanye usange ŵangamazga maburoko gha boma. Ŵanthu 52.7% awo ŵakaŵa na wanangwa wa kuvota ŵakavota, ndipo 93.8% ŵakazomera. Pakugwiliskira nchito kusintha uku, pulezidenti wa cirwa cilicose wakaŵa kazembe ndipo ŵalaŵiliri ŵakaŵa ŵa pharazgi.
