Comoros

Ouvoimoja (qui signifie ‘ensemble/ unifié’) rassemble les meilleurs jeunes musiciens de l'île d'Anjouan dans l'archipel des Comores. Leur musique, un mélange de mgodro, de folk et de reggae, parle de la réalité d’un pays trop peu connu aux allures paradisiaques où la vie est pourtant si dure. Leur ambition : faire connaître l’archipel des Comores, par sa beauté mais aussi ses imperfections, et mobiliser la population vers un monde meilleur.

Secessionism perseveres as a complex political phenomenon in Africa, yet often a more in-depth analysis is overshadowed by the aspirational simplicity of pursuing a new state. Using historical and contemporary approaches, this edited volume offers the most exhaustive collection of empirical studies of African secessionism to date. The respected expert contributors put salient and lesser known cases into comparative perspective, covering Biafra, Katanga, Eritrea and South Sudan alongside Barotseland, Cabinda, and the Comoros, among others. Suggesting that African secessionism can be understood through the categories of aspiration, grievance, performance, and disenchantment, the book's analytical framework promises to be a building block for future studies of the topic.
