The delicate politico-institutional set-up of the ‘Union des Comores’ remained, however, tense, with renewed quarrelling over the respective competencies of the Union authorities and the leaders of the three semi-autonomous islands and with attempts by President Sambi to bring about changes to the complex federal constitution.

There was no noticeable improvement in social conditions for the majority of the population and the general economic performance remained very poor.
