Despite some signs of a possible re-emergence of the vicious political confrontations that had long characterised the country during its often turbulent past, 2013 turned out to be another (third) year of relatively calm political normalcy without any major upheavals. A failed coup attempt had no noticeable effect on the stability of the government. President Dhoinine managed to further consolidate his leadership position despite an escalating rift with his predecessor and former mentor Sambi. The long-existing frictions between the three islands of the ‘Union des Comores’ and their political elites continued unchanged, but caused no immediate problems. A compromise was found on the disputed issue of a harmonised election cycle, while key political parties showed signs of internal disarray. The contentious Mayotte issue and ambivalent relations with France continued to dominate the foreign front. Further progress on debt cancellation was made and there was a moderate general improvement in the economic situation, while structural reforms of key parastatal enterprises remained stalled.
