The Swahili Coast refers to a coastal area in Southeast Africa inhabited by the Swahili people. It mainly consists of littoral Kenya, Tanzania and northern Mozambique. The term may also include some of the Indian Ocean islands, such as Zanzibar, Pate and Comoros, which lie off the Swahili Coast. The Swahili Coast has a distinct culture, demography, religion and geography, and as a result - along with other factors, including economic - has witnessed rising secessionism.〔"Contagion of discontent: Muslim extremism spreads down east Africa coastline," ''The Economist ''(3 November 2012)〕 ==Settlements== The major ports along the Swahili Coast include: * Bagamoyo * Dar es Salaam / Mzizima * Malindi * Pangani * Quelimane * Sofala * Tanga Off-shore island groups associated with this coastal region: * Bajun Islands * Comoro Islands * Lamu Archipelago * Mombasa Island * Mozambique Island * Quirimbas Islands * Zanzibar Archipelago 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Swahili coast」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
