In Comoros, Kiki asks UN to facilitate a transition

Comorian opposition figure Mohamed Daoudou, known as Kiki, says any political discussion must lead to a transition and is asking the UN to facilitate a peaceful way out of the crisis. In this interview with Masiwa, he criticises the timing of the UN mission, sent three years before the election scheduled for 2029.

Mohamed Daoudou, known as Kiki, has asked the United Nations to facilitate a political transition in the Comoros, according to an interview published by Masiwa. The request comes after a meeting in early October between the UN and the Comorian parliamentary opposition.

In the interview, Kiki distinguishes between the parliamentary opposition, represented in the National Assembly, and the extra-parliamentary opposition. He defines the political opposition as parties or groups that do not take part in or support the executive.
