Nioumamilima
Nioumamilima is a village on the island of Grande Comore (Ngazidja) in the Comoros.
Many inhabitants of this village were removed to larger cities where Arabs had settled. The main objective of this move was to teach them Islam and Islamic philosophy. Comorian historians attribute these teachings to either Iranians or Shirazis. After this schooling, the villagers returned to Nioumamilima and built Koranic schools and mosques. The locals called them village fighters. The village now includes 27 mosques and 5 Koranic schools.
It is one of the most agriculturally prosperous areas in the Badjini region, producing crops which include vanilla and cloves. In 2014, there were more than 500 young people involved in the agricultural sector. Some have preferred to leave school to invest in agriculture. According to the 2008 census, the village had a population of 3000.

The sovereign state consists of three major islands and numerous smaller islands, all of the volcanic Comoro Islands with the exception of Mayotte. Mayotte voted against independence from France in a referendum in 1974, and continues to be administered by France as an overseas department. France has vetoed United Nations Security Council resolutions that would affirm Comorian sovereignty over the island. Mayotte became an overseas department and a region of France in 2011 following a referendum which was passed overwhelmingly.
