Comoros president shocks the world by revealing plans to hand power to his son

In a jaw-dropping announcement that has sent shockwaves across the Indian Ocean and beyond, Comoros President Azali Assoumani publicly declared his intention to hand over power to his son, Nour El Fath, when he leaves office in 2029. Speaking to supporters on the island of Moheli, Assoumani shattered any pretence of democratic succession by stating, "I will place my son to replace me as head of the state and the party." Has the Comorian leader just confirmed what many feared: a blatant bid to turn the fledgling democracy into a family empire? This stunning revelation has fueled accusations that Assoumani has been grooming El Fath for years. The president, whose controversial re-election last year was marred by allegations of voter fraud, appointed his son to coordinate government affairs with sweeping powers over the cabinet. Was this move a calculated step toward cementing a dynastic rule in a nation where democracy already hangs by a thread? Critics were quick to pounce. Abdallah Mohamed Daoudou, spokesperson for the opposition coalition, minced no words, declaring, “With this statement, he has only made official what we already knew. But Azali is deluding himself. The Comorian people and politicians will not accept the installation of a dynastic power or a monarchy in the Comoros.” But will this outrage be enough to counter the president’s entrenched control over the state apparatus? ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ The New African Channel is an African online news and media platform.
