[This is almost identical to Anjouan and Grand Comoro.] Scott [1] describes Mohéli as "One of the Comoro Islands in the Mozambique Channel midway between Madagascar and Mozambique". In 1891 it became a French colony; from 1914 until 1950 it came under the contol of, and used the stamps of Madagascar. From 1950 it used the general issue stamps of Comoro Islands and in 1975, Mohéli joined with Anjouan and Grand Comoro to form the independent State of Comoro.
