Comoros

2.3% annual new-conflict probability
Comoros flag

How to read these probabilities: Scores estimate the probability of a new armed conflict starting within the next 12 months. Ongoing conflicts can have a saturation effect, reducing the modelled probability of an additional conflict onset. A low or falling score does not imply less severe ongoing fighting or a safer country.

Risk assessment

Risk profile

The 12-month probability of a new armed-conflict onset in Comoros is 2.3%, representing a low risk. The main supporting factors are the country’s history of repeated coups and political instability since independence, limited institutional capacity, economic vulnerability, and the potential for political disputes to become confrontational.

Recent reporting supplied for 19 October 2026 contains no specific conflict escalation involving Comoros, and no prediction market is available. The principal domestic actors are the national government, security forces, opposition groups, and politically mobilised communities across the islands. These conditions support continued monitoring, but there is no identified current armed campaign or external military threat reaching Comorian territory.

The largest uncertainty is whether a contested political process, leadership dispute, or security-force split could rapidly overwhelm established restraints. Risk would rise most clearly after sustained lethal clashes, a breakdown within the armed forces, or organised opposition mobilisation; it would fall with a peaceful political settlement and continued security-force cohesion.

Strategic reasoning

  • Repeated coups and episodes of political instability show that executive disputes can challenge constitutional order, while limited state capacity may hinder peaceful crisis management.
  • No current armed conflict is identified on Comorian territory; activity involving Comorian interests abroad would not itself constitute a new onset unless it generated fighting inside the country.

Critical indicators

  • Since independence in 1975, Comoros has experienced repeated coup attempts and military interventions, including the 1999 seizure of power by Colonel Azali Assoumani. This history supports sensitivity to elite disputes and security-force intervention.
  • On 19 October 2026, no specific dated report supplied an attack, insurgency, coup, or cross-border armed action reaching Comorian territory. The absence of a named current conflict leaves the live risk chiefly supported by the country’s established political and institutional vulnerabilities.
