Instability in the Comoros In January, Anjouan confirmed its intention to secede – and hence to repudiate the April 1999 Antananarivo agreement which granted the island a large degree of autonomy [1] – in a referendum whose results were rejected by the federal authorities in Moroni. The authorities also imposed economic and financial sanctions on Anjouan, and the OAU threatened to do likewise if the island’s leaders failed to sign the Antananarivo agreement promptly. Following a mission to the country in June, the OAU also urged the government of the Comoros, led by Colonel Assoumani (who had survived a coup Sentencing of police and military personnel involved in Lesotho mutinies The trials of police and military personnel accused of mutiny following the events of 1997 [2] and 1998 [3] continued into 2000. A total of 25 members of the police and three military personnel, all of whom were receiving ICRC visits, were tried and sentenced. The general elections originally scheduled for March, then for October, were further postponed until 2001, and this prolonged the political instability which had beset the country for several years.

Each island elects its own legislature and president, which are responsible for establishing and enforcing its own fundamental laws in accordance with the national constitution. On the national level, legislative power is vested in the Assembly of the Union, whose 30 members serve five-year terms. Half of the members are selected by the individual islands’ legislatures (each island selects five members), and the other half are popularly elected. The head of state is a president, who is popularly elected to a four-year term. The presidency rotates among the three islands. Two vice presidents, representing the other two islands, assist the president. Judicial power resides with the Supreme Court, which rules on fiscal and administrative issues, and the High Council, which considers constitutional matters.

53. Comoros - Early Visitors And Settlers comoros Table of Contents A watershed in the history of the islands was thearrival of the Shirazi Arabs in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. http://countrystudies.us/comoros/2.htm

Early Visitors and Settlers Comoros Table of Contents The first Europeans to visit the islands were the Portuguese, who landed on Njazidja around 1505. The islands first appear on a European map in 1527, that of Portuguese cartographer Diogo Roberos. Dutch sixteenth-century accounts describe the Comoros sultanates as prosperous trade centers with the African coast and Madagascar. Intense competition for this trade, and, increasingly, for European commerce, resulted in constant warfare among the sultanates, a situation that persisted until the French occupation. The sultans of Njazidja only occasionally recognized the supremacy of one of their number as tibe , or supreme ruler. By the early seventeenth century, slaves had become Comoros' most important export commodity, although the market for the islands' other products also continued to expand, mainly in response to the growing European presence in the region. To meet this increased demand, the sultans began using slave labor themselves, following common practice along the East African coast. Beginning in 1785, the Sakalava of the west coast of Madagascar began slaving raids on Comoros. They captured thousands of inhabitants and carried them off in outrigger canoes to be sold in French-occupied Madagascar, Mauritius, or Reunion to work on the sugar plantations, many of which French investors owned. The island of Mahoré, closest of the group to Madagascar, was virtually depopulated. Comoran pleas for aid from the French and the other European powers went unanswered, and the raids ceased only after the Sakalava kingdoms were conquered by the Merina of Madagascar's central highlands. After the Merina conquest, groups of Sakalava and Betsimisaraka peoples left Madagascar and settled on Mahoré and Mwali.

Insular Southwest Asia 21-23 September 1998 Réduit, Mauritius Globalization and the South West Indian Ocean: Four hundred years ago the Dutch under the command of Admiral Wybrandt van Warwijck landed on the island of Mauritius. He named the island Mauritius after Prince Maurits of Orange-Nassau. To commemorate this event, the International Institute for Asian Studies and the University of Mauritius organized a seminar on globalization in the South-West Indian Ocean. The event was funded by the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs and given a historical continuity by the visit of the present-day Prince Maurits and Princess Marilène of Orange-Nassau-Van Vollenhoven. By Mohan K. Gautam A series of socio-cultural events to mark the celebrations were the fruits of a joint effort by the governments of the Netherlands and Mauritius. The international seminar was multidisciplinary in approach, participants coming from The Netherlands, Britain, France, Italy, India, South Africa, Madagascar, Mauritius, Réunion and other countries. In his opening speech Prof. Mohamedbha, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Mauritius, welcomed the guests of honour, Prince Maurice and Princess Marilène. Prof. Stokhof, Director of the IIAS, elaborated on the scope of the theme of the Seminar by emphasizing the 'globalization process' of academic exchange. The inaugural address was delivered by Drs P Moree (Royal Dutch Library, The Hague). His specially written book A Concise History of Dutch in Mauritius (1598-1710) was launched, as well as two books on Dodology published by the Royal Society of Arts and Sciences of Mauritius.
