The post election crisis in the Comoros has intensified with the first reported death in street violence and a call from the opposition for a national day of protest on Friday against the “masquerade” of President Azali Assoumani’s victory.
The head of the emergency room at the El Maarouf hospital in the Comoros capital Moroni told reporters on Thursday that six wounded people had been admitted and that one 21-year-old had died, “very probably by gunshot”.
