U.N./
- 28 September 2007 –
The President of the Comoros yesterday called on
the United Nations to help his country, an Indian Ocean archipelago, to resolve
its political crises.
Ahmed
Abdallah Mohamed Sambi spoke about the armed rebellion in Anjouan, which has led
to a political crisis, and appealed for international help in finding a
solution.
The
rebels, he said, refused to comply with resolutions of the African Union (AU)
and the recommendations of the international community relating to the holding
of free and democratic elections in Anjouan.
The
President thanked all of those bilateral and multilateral partners that had
helped Comoros in seeking a solution. He also thanked the African Development
Bank and other partners which had contributed to helping Comoros with its
economic problems.
Regarding
the island of Mayotte, he said that Comoros finds itself in opposition to France
– a friendly country and key partner. He cautioned against the Balkanization
of the Comoros.
Comoros
sought a resolution to the situation, he said, calling for the free circulation
of goods and people throughout the archipelago, including Mayotte.
The
President voiced support for the address to the Assembly earlier this week by
French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who spoke about respect for diversity,
national identity, religious beliefs and cultures.
He asked
that the UN take up the question and seek a rapprochement between the two
parties with a few to resolving the problem.
“I am
convinced that we can, together, with the French authorities, find the ways and
means of advancing the search for a just, lawful and definitive solution to this
problem,” he declared.
