COMOROS interim President Tadjidine Ben Said Massonde has postponed the election for the successor to Mohamed Taki Abdoulkarim who died last November. Tadjidine said on Wednesday: “My interim period was to last for three months and enable the organisation of the presidential vote,” he said. “But … it is impossible to organise elections in which all Comoran people can take part.” The federal Islamic republic of three islands has for nearly one and a half years been confronted with the unilateral secession of Anjouan, where several dozen people were killed in clashes among rival separatist groups in December.
