The Comoro Islands in the Indian Ocean are in the midst of an intense political crisis. Opposition leaders accuse the president of trying to establish a dictatorship. Over the past few months, he has reinforced his powers thanks to a constitutional referendum. Protests have also been banned and many of the president’s critics have been arrested. Our reporters Valériane Gauthier and Mohamed Farhat went to the capital, Moroni, to find out more.
A programme prepared by Patrick Lovett.

The observer mission of the African Union on Tuesday said the recent presidential election that was held in Comoros "went well overall," in spite of several incidents reported on the islands of Anjouan, a stronghold of the opposition, AFP reported.

Addressing a news conference in Comoros’ capital, Moroni, the spokesperson of the AU mission and former president of Burundi, Domitien Ndazizeye said no "disaster" had been recorded, urging parties with grievances to use relevant institutions to seek redress.

The archipelago awaits official results from Sunday's first round election, which is expected to show incumbent leader President Azali Assoumani with a comfortable lead.

But supporters of the five opposition candidates have accused electoral authorities of delaying voting in their electoral strongholds and harassing polling observers.

The result of the first round is expected sometime this week, but tension is already rising on the Comoros' three islands — Grande-Comore, Anjouan and Moheli — home to 870,000 people.

Security forces in the Comoros clashed Wednesday with protesters angered by the re-election of President Azali Assoumani, as opposition leaders denounced this week’s vote as fraudulent.

Some demonstrators ransacked a former minister's house and set it on fire, as others tried to block roads in the capital. Police responded with tear gas and arrests, AFP reported.

Election officials said on Tuesday that Assoumani had won 62.97 percent of the vote in Sunday's ballot, but the five opposition challengers cried foul, alleging ballot-stuffing and inconsistent results.

"Incontestably, these ballots of Sunday January 14, 2024 are invalid. We denounce them and demand their pure and simple annulment," the candidates said, in a joint statement.

Government spokesman Houmed Msaidie, speaking to AFP, accused the opposition of organizing the protests.

"There have been arrests, but I can't give you the figure for the moment. It's totally normal when there are people out there who want to disturb public order," Msaidie said.

AFP did not say whether the opposition confirmed or denied been behind the unrest.

There have been no reports of deadly violence, but the Comoros — a three-island chain with a population of about 870,000 — is politically volatile and has seen 20 coups or attempted coups since independence in 1975.

Official results released Tuesday showed Assoumani — a former coup leader turned civilian president — won re-election in the first round.

Africa’s 2024 election season – comprising 19 presidential and general polls – got off to an unpromising and alarming start this past week. After the re-election of President Azali Assoumani to an effective fifth term, violent protests against the result broke out in Moroni, the capital of Comoros.

The government responded by imposing a night-time curfew and deploying the army on the streets. The United Nations commissioner for human rights appealed for calm and for the authorities to show restraint in dealing with the protests.

It looks like a brazen attempt by a town mayor to stuff ballots. In this edition of Truth or Fake, we take a look at two incriminating videos that went viral of last Sunday's elections in the Comoros, which were marred by allegations of irregularities. The mayor denies the accusations of fraud, which led to his being escorted from the polling station by gendarmes.

The public prosecutor Moussa Djibrine at a news conference said 262 persons were given jail sentences, 80 were given suspended terms and 59 were acquitted.
The defendants were charged with taking part in an unauthorised gathering, destroying belongings, arson and disturbing public order.
The protests had been called to mark the date when Chad’s ruling military had initially promised to cede power, a timeline that has now been extended by two years.

There have been opposition protests in Chad against the military transition council. It follows the army's appointment of a civilian prime minister while the opposition wants a full civilian government.

After the killing of President Idriss Deby, the army named his son, a General, as the new leader. Regional powers and France, a key ally of Chad in counterterrorism operations, are pushing for a civilian-military solution.

So what’s next for Chad? BBC Monitoring analyst Hellen Abatoni explains.

The opposition in Chad has denounced what it is calling an "institutional coup".
That is after the son of slain President Idris Deby, Mahamat Deby, was appointed as leader.
The military, which announced Deby's sudden death on Tuesday, has promised elections in a year and a half.
But unions are threatening to strike, and rebels are planning to march on the capital.
