São Tomé and Príncipe is an island country in west-central Africa, consisting of the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe and the surrounding islets, with the capital, São Tomé, located in the northeastern part of São Tomé. Located on the Gulf of Guinea, about 200 kilometers from the African continent, the country was colonized by Portugal in the 15th century and became independent in 1975, with Portuguese as the official language and an economy based on agriculture (cocoa, palm oil) and tourism. It should be noted that "Java" is not a city or region of the country; Java is the main island of Indonesia, with cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya, and has nothing to do with São Tomé and Príncipe, possibly due to a confusion of names.
Ndrodroni is a coastal town in the African island nation of the Union of the Comoros, located in the Comoros archipelago in the western part of the Indian Ocean, near the sea between the islands of Grande Comore and Anjouan. As one of the remote settlements of the Comoros, it has retained its pristine natural beauty with a strong Arab-African cultural fusion. Famous for its coral reef coast, blue waters and traditional village architecture, the town's inhabitants are mainly engaged in fishing and small-scale agriculture, and live a slow and tranquil pace of life. Despite its relatively modest infrastructure, its undisturbed natural environment and simplicity make it a window on Comorian indigenous culture and a hidden destination for exploring the ecology and humanity of the island nation in the southwestern Indian Ocean.
