Jinja, May 2026. Over the weekend, I went to Jinja with Comorians (Comorian party animals in frames 1, 4, 8) and Sudanese (frame 14). Scenes from the slow River Nile town follow, accompanied by Dianne Reeves' Tropical island-sounding track. Video by @TimKalyegira

#Comoros: Alkarama has once again alerted the United Nations to the arbitrary detention of former president Ahmed Abdallah Mohamed Sambi 📌 Alkarama recently submitted communications to the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention (WGAD), regarding the implementation of its Opinion No. 65/2018. These communications were also sent to the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the right to health and the Independent Expert on the enjoyment of all human rights by older persons. The communications concerned the situation of Mr Ahmed Abdallah Mohamed Sambi, former President of the Union of the Comoros. Having been detained for more than eight years, Mr Sambi is now entering his ninth year of deprivation of liberty. Despite Opinion No. 65/2018 of the WGAD concluding that his detention was arbitrary and calling on the Comorian authorities to take the necessary measures to end it, Mr Sambi remains imprisoned. According to information received by Alkarama, the former president's health is deteriorating and he requires access to specialised, independent and appropriate medical care. Six former Comorian prime ministers from different political backgrounds have also raised these concerns, calling on President Azali Assoumani to allow Mr Sambi to receive appropriate medical treatment without delay. In light of this situation, Alkarama has called upon the relevant United Nations mechanisms to intervene with the Comorian authorities to ensure the immediate implementation of Opinion No. 65/2018 and the release of Mr Sambi, as well as to ensure full respect for his fundamental rights, including his right to health and to a fair trial. A detention found to be arbitrary Since 2018, Alkarama has been monitoring Mr Sambi's situation before the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, on the basis that his deprivation of liberty contravenes the fundamental guarantees enshrined in international human rights instruments. Following a submission by Alkarama, the Working Group adopted Opinion No. 65/2018. This concluded that the former president’s detention was arbitrary, and called on the Comorian authorities to take appropriate measures to restore his rights. Since then, #Alkarama has engaged continuously with the relevant United Nations mechanisms on this case, advocating for the implementation of the Working Group on Arbitrary Detention's recommendations. Alkarama is committed to its mission of defending human rights and will continue its efforts to promote the implementation of this opinion, thereby contributing to the respect of fundamental rights under international law.

I had the opportunity to meet Comorian writer Me Abdoulbastoi Moudjahidi, author of The Child of the North Wind (L’Enfant du Vent du Nord, Éditions Coelacanthe), a novel inspired by real events that took place during the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda. Beyond the writer, I discovered a simple, humble, and deeply human individual. I spent several hours with him before, during, and after our interview. Those moments allowed me to appreciate his intellectual depth, sensitivity, and thoughtful perspective. When listening to him speak about his work, one quickly realizes that he has undertaken extensive research and approaches history with genuine humanity. A lawyer by profession, he also possesses a profound love for literature, which he says he inherited from his father. This encounter left a strong impression on me. I met an intelligent, reflective, and committed author who addresses a painful chapter of contemporary history with accuracy and compassion, while reminding us that such tragedies concern all of humanity. What also struck me was his deep connection to Rwanda. He says that ever since he discovered the country, he has felt at home there. Not simply because he is African, but because he has come to understand and appreciate Rwanda’s culture, history, resilience, and remarkable development. His attachment to the country is so strong that he recently introduced it to his own family. In just two years, he has returned to Rwanda six times, a testament to the sincere and lasting bond he has built with the country and its people. 📸#IGIHE⤵️⤵️

A 2024 FATF report stating that gambling is prohibited under Comorian law remains unaddressed, and the Central Bank of the Comoros continues to say it does not recognise the licensing authority.
