A citizens’ initiative has completed about 35% of a house for the widow and eight children of Attoumani Saïd, who was killed during protests in Anjouan in May 2026, Comores Infos reports. Associations, NGOs and individuals, including Yassna Attoumani, are contributing to the project.
The organisers are calling on Comorians in the archipelago and the diaspora to contribute towards funding the remaining 65% of the work.
