		Soilih, who described himself as a devout Muslim, advocated a secular state and limitations on the privileges of the muftis, or Muslim jurists who interpret Islamic law.

		Until the revolutionary Ali Soilih took over in 1975 with his utopian Year Zero ideals, Anjouan had been a quiet backwater of dishevelled French colonialism based on ylang-ylang and clove plantations.
		Ali Soilih changed things radically: he put teenagers in charge, abolished history and legalised cannabis.

		Ali Moumine, Anjouan's minister of foreign affairs, accused them of trying all means to "legitimise the deployment of military observers, against the will of the Anjouan people."54 From that moment on, mutual suspicion brought Anjouan and the OAU leaders into opposition.

		A figurehead of the Comorian political scene, Prince Saïd Ali Kemal, asked France to contribute to the resolving of the crisis by changing its attitude towards the Mahorian dissent.
