The delicate politico-institutional set-up of the ‘Union des Comores’ was once again thrown into turmoil when a dispute over elections for the island presidency on Anjouan in June led to a new political crisis, potentially provoking another secession attempt similar to the one in 1997. In contrast, new island presidents were elected on Ngazidja/Grande Comore and Mohéli without similar controversies. Despite considerable international efforts to bring about a national reconciliation, no tangible results were achieved and by the end of the year a future military confrontation with the Anjouanese regime appeared more likely. Under these circumstances, any expectations of substantial socioeconomic improvement remained largely illusory.
