The archipelago of islands developed over centuries with the migration of Africans, Asians and Pacific Islanders. Portugal and France were involved in the advent of enslavement and colonization. 

Since the post-independence period after 1975, there has been instability and struggle against continuing French neo-colonial interventions. 

Union of Comoros has been limited in its sovereignty due to the continuing French occupation of Mayotte irrespective of the wishes of Comorans, the African Union and the United Nations. 

In addition, the program reviews the role of right-wing media corporations and platforms and their role in shaping the outlooks of people in the western capitalist and imperialist states.
