Comoros

Moroni is the capital and largest city of the Union of the Comoros, located on the west coast of Grande Comore (Ngazidja). It’s the seat of government and main port, reflecting centuries of Swahili, Arab, and French influence; landmarks include the Old Friday Mosque, and the city lies beneath Mount Karthala, one of the world’s most active volcanoes. The other choices are major Comorian towns: Moutsamoudou (Anjouan’s largest city), Fomboni (Mohéli’s capital), and Mitsamiouli (on Grande Comore). Memory tip: MOROni is the capital of CoMOROs—match the “Moro” to remember the pair.
