Johanna Island (Anjouan Island)-- Part 2

As we continue with my geography lesson, there are four larger towns on the several islands, with Mutsamunda as the capital. Its first inhabitants were explorers and immigrants from Indonesia and Polynesia.

In 1500, it was part of the Sultanate of Ndzuwani and in 1816, it requested French protection from the threatening Sultanate of Zanzibar. The French provided protection officially in 1886.

The currency is the Comorian franc, printed by the Bank of France and the main religion is Sunni Islam.

A French connection.
