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.
