Comoros. Violence erupted on the island of Nzwani (Anjouan) ahead of the local presidential elections in June. The incumbent President Mohamed Bacar refused to step down, even though his term in office had expired. Nzwani’s paramilitary police force attacked the Union troops sent to the island to ensure that the elections could be conducted. At least two soldiers were killed. Bacar, described by some analysts as a separatist leader, eventually agreed to leave the presidential post in order to stand for re-election. But when Union President Ahmed Abdallah Sambi decided to postpone the election on Nzwani, Bacar ignored it. He still held the election June 10, claiming he won and installed as president. The election was annulled by the Comorian Constitutional Court. On the other two major islands, the June 10 local presidential elections quietly proceeded. Mohamed Abdouloihabi, former minister and chief of staff at Sambi, won the election at Njazidja (Grand Comore). At Mwali, businessman Mohamed Ali Said was elected president.

The African Union (AU), which sent soldiers and election overseers to Nzwani, imposed sanctions on the island’s leadership in October-November to try to push new elections there. Bacar demanded that the elections be redone in all the islands. He refused to negotiate with the AU, which extended the sanctions. No settlement was reached in 2007.
