Commentary
La Société Anonyme de la Grande Comore est fondée par le botaniste et naturaliste Léon Humblot (1852-1914) qui a signé un traité avec le sultan Said Ali bin Said Omar. Cette société coloniale a la mainmise sur l’économie de l’île. Humblot était surnommé le “sultan blanc”.
Historical background
COMOROS
The Comoros archipelago forms a group of islands located southeast of Africa, east of Tanzania and northwest of Madagascar. These islands are shared between an independent country, the Union of the Comoros, and Mayotte, a French overseas collectivity. In 1946, the islands are no longer administratively attached to Madagascar and form for the first time in their history a united and recognized administrative entity (TOM). After the independence of African countries in the 1960s, a number of intellectuals began to call for independence. The country obtained it on July 6, 1975 but claimed the sovereignty of Mayotte, i.e. the entire Comoros archipelago..
