Everything about Ahmed Abdallah totally explained
Ahmed Abdallah Abderemane (
Ahmad Abd Allah Abd ar-Rahman,
12 June,
1919 –
26 November,
1989) was a
Comorian politician. He was President of the Comoros from
25 October, 1978 until his death.
Life prior to the presidency
Abdallah was born in
Domoni, on the island of
Anjouan. He began participating in the government in the
1940s, while the Comoros were still part of
France. He was the President of the general council from
1949 until
1953, and was the chairman of the chamber of deputies during 1970.
First presidency
In 1972, Abdallah, now leader of his political party, the
Comoros Democratic Union (UDC), became president of the government council and
Chief Minister of the Comoros; he served in that position until
July 6,
1975, when the islands became independent from France, (with the exception of
Mayotte, which voted to remain part of France.) Abdallah became the first president of the independent islands, but was overthrown by
Said Mohamed Jaffar in a
coup d'état on August 3, 1975. Jaffar, meanwhile, was overthrown by
Ali Soilih in 1976.
Second presidency
Abdallah, (who had been living in exile
Paris, France) staged a coup against Soilih in 1978 with the help of mercenary
Bob Denard. On July 22, their titles were changed to "Co-Chairmen of the Directorate," and on October 3, Abdallah became the lone chair. In
1982, Abdallah had the UDC and all other parties abolished, and a new party, the
Comorian Union for Progress (UCP), was set up. Comoros became a one-party state, with the UCP being the only legal party.
Abdallah was re-elected unopposed in 1984.
On November 26, 1989, he was assassinated in the capital,
Moroni, during a coup led by Ali Soilih's half-brother,
Said Mohamed Djohar. Djohar took control of the country the next day.
