MAYOTTE

Mayotte (Mahore) is an island in the Comoro Archipelago. It has a total area of 375 km2. The climate is tropical; marine; hot and humid in the rainy season during north-eastern monsoon (November to May). The dry season is cooler (May to November). The terrain is generally undulating with ancient volcanic peaks and deep ravines. Natural resources are negligible. The religion is 99% Muslim; remainder Christian, mostly Roman Catholic. The language is Mahorian (a Swahili dialect) and French. When the Comoros elected to become independent in 1974, Mayotte decided to remain an overseas territory of France. In 1976 the island became a Territorial Collectivity of France.
