History

Until 1830 Moheli was part of the Ndzuwenie sultanate which also controlled Anjouan, a neighbouring island. In 1830 migrants from Madagascar led by Ramanetaka, who later changed his name to Abderemane, took over the island and established the sultanate of Mwali. In 1886 France made the island a protectorate. Until 1889 Mwali had its own French resident, but the island was then subjugated to the residency of Anjouan. The sultanate was crushed in 1909 when the French annexed the island. 1830 was a common year starting on Friday (see link for calendar). ... island in the Comoros. ...

The separatist flag

In 1975, Moheli agreed to join the Comoros nation, along with Grand Comore and Anjouan. Political, economic and social turmoil affected Moheli and the Comoros in general. On 11 August 1997, Moheli seceded from the Comoros, just a week after Anjouan had done so. Moheli's secessionist leaders were Said Mohamed Soefu who became President, and Soidri Ahmed, who became Prime Minister. Moheli quietly rejoined Comoros in 1998. In 2002, Moheli ratified the new Comorian constitution, which provided for a less centralized federal government and more power to the island governments. It helped settle continuing political turmoil on Comoros and continuing secessionism on Anjouan. Also in 2002, Said Mohamed Fazul was elected President. His supporters won most seats in Moheli's delegation to Parliament in the legislative elections of 2004. 1975 was a common year starting on Wednesday (the link is to a full 1975 calendar). ...
