Comment

Saïd Mohamed Ben Chech Abdallah Cheikh, known as Saïd Mohamed Cheikh, born on April 7, 1904 in Mitsamiouli (Grande Comore) and died on March 16, 1970 in Soavinandriana (Madagascar), was a politician from the Comoros, then a French territory. A doctor from the island of Grande Comore, he was elected deputy to the Constituent Assembly of the French Republic in 1945 on a center-left list, then deputy to the French Fourth Republic on a center-left list. Working for the autonomy of the Comorian archipelago within the Republic, he obtained the creation of the Territory of the Comoros in 1946. He was re-elected in 1958 on a Gaullist list, when the Fifth Republic was created. That same year, he was elected head of the archipelago's governing council, a post he held until his death in Madagascar in 1970. Cheikhisme" was a period of authoritarian stability in the history of the Comoros, before the transition to full independence. (Source : www.wikipedia.org) Automatically translated
