Comoros - d0fnt. The e United States established diplomatic relations in 1977 but in September 1993 closed it embassy in Moroni. The two countries enjoy friendly relations.

In November 1975, Comoros became the 143d member of the UN. In the 1990s, the republic continued to represent Mahoré in the UN. Comoros was also a member of the OAU, the EDF, the World Bank, the IMF, the IOC, and the African Development Bank.

Comoros thus cultivated relations with various nations, both East and West, seeking to increase trade and obtain financial assistance. In 1994, however, it was increasingly facing the need to control its expenditures and reorganize its economy so that it would be viewed as a sounder recipient of investment. Comoros also confronted domestically the problem of the degree of democracy the government was prepared to grant to its citizens, a consideration that related to its standing in the world community.

The reader seeking recent works on the history, politics, and society of Comoros also needs to consult a number of publications that cover the republic as one of many African or Indian Ocean countries. These include Africa Analysis, Africa Contemporary Record, Africa Events, Africa Research Bulletin, and Africa South of the Sahara. Other periodically issued sources include the annual country-by-country Amnesty International Report and the newsletters Africa Confidential and Indian Ocean Newsletter. Whereas the Times of London, New York Times, and Washington Post report Comoros' more serious upheavals, more regular coverage is provided by Le Monde. Useful social and economic data can be obtained from World Bank publications. One such publication in particular, Social Indicators of Development, an annual, provides country-by-country tables of data on indicators of poverty and resources and expenditures. Books such as Thierry Flobert's 1976 work, Les Comores: Évolution juridique et socio-politique, the World Bank 1979 publication The Comoros: Problems and Prospects of a Small, Island Economy, and Malyn Newitt's The Comoro Islands: Struggle Against Dependency in the Indian Ocean, provide useful background despite their growing datedness.
