Abstract

The African Islands, known as the Scattered Islands (Îles Éparses), are one of the most strategic and  important areas, because of  their location on Mozambique Channel,  the very important waterway, which is  located on the world's busiest and most resourceful shipping routes.  France crowds out the African countries bordering the canal in the rich resources located on the Ocean floor.  In addition, it makes it difficult to demarcate the maritime borders between the African countries bordering the Mozambique Channel, because it is a regional neighbor that has sovereignty over a number of African islands. Thus, regional claims arise from Madagascar that seeks to condemn France, which cuts off the scattered islands from Madagascar before granting independence. Therefore, the current research presents one of the cases of incomplete independence.
