Said Abeid Explained

Saïd Abeid Abdérémane served as the President of Anjouan from 1999 to August 2001, having led the breakaway movement from Comoros in 1997.[1] He was preceded by Foundi Ibrahim Abdallah, who was usurped by Abeid after a couple days of street battles in September 1999.[2] He was succeeded by Mohamed Bacar, following a putsch.[3] In November 2001, he tried to regain power in a failed coup against Bacar, as he was opposed to Bacar's efforts to reunify with Comoros.[4] [5]
