The Comoros Islands in East Africa are strategic in several regional issues for Qatar, Turkey's main ally, including transportation and mercenary recruitment.
Since the Islamist coalition led by Hamid Karhela and lawyer Ahmed Mahmoud lost at the 2018 general elections, they have frequently traveled to Turkey and Qatar, sponsoring countries of political Islam, in an attempt to overthrow Othman Ghazali, present president of Comoros.
In particular, Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s Turkey has infiltrated the Union of Comoros and is using Karhela and Mahmoud to realize a coup against president Othman Ghazali.
Hamid Karhela served many years in the Government of Comoros. When he was a minister of state, he took a large percentage of Arab aid intended to support development in Comoros, using this money for himself. People in Comoros describe him as one of the most corrupted persons in the country, and that’s why Erdogan is using him.
Erdogan uses this character to fulfill his interests in the country and expand the Muslim Brotherhood influence, as well as radical Islam.
