List of sultans on the Comoros


Several Sultanates on the Comoros, an archipelago in the Indian Ocean with an ethnically complex mix, were founded after the introduction of Islam into the area in the 15th century. Other uses depending on the island could also be styled fani, mfaume and ntibe. Unlike sultans in many other Arab nations, these sultans had little real power. At one time alone on the island of Ndzuwani or Nzwani, 40 fanis and other chiefs shared power of the island; Ngazidja was at many times divided into 11 sultanates. This article addresses the major ones.
