Anjouan independence referendum, 1997
An independence referendum was held on Anjouan, an island in the Comoros, on 26 October 1997.〔(Anjouan (Comoros), 26 October 1997: Independent ) Direct Democracy 〕 Over 99% of voters voted in favour of independence. However, the vote was not recognised and the island returned to the control of the Comorian government in 2001.
==Background==
In July 1997 opposition parties were banned and Anjouan separatist leader Abdallah Ibrahim was arrested. His arrest led to rioting in Mutsamudu, the capital of Anjouan.〔Tom Lansford (2015) ''Political Handbook of the World 2015'', CQ Press〕 Following the riots, militants from the Anjouan People's Movement took over the island, and declared independence on 3 August 1997. Ibrahim was released from prison and named President. At the same time, the island of Mohéli also declared independence.〔
On 3 October the Comorian army attempted to invade the island, but were repulsed by local troops.〔 A referendum was subsequently called by Ibrahim despite opposition from the Organisation for African Unity and the Arab League.〔(COMORO ISLANDS: Anjouan Leader Plans Referendum On Secession ) IPS, 13 October 1997〕
