In late September 1997, despite the misgivings of some members of the "politico-administrative co-ordination", notably Abdou Madi, Ibrahim announced his decision to hold a referendum on self-determination for Nzwani on 26 October, prior to a reconciliation conference sponsored by both the OAU and the Arab League, which all parties had agreed to attend.
Despite international opposition, the referendum was conducted as scheduled; according to separatist officials, 99.88% of the electorate voted in favour of independence for Nzwani, with a turnout of 94%.
Diplomatic relations between the Comoros and France, suspended in December 1975, were restored in July 1978; in November of that year the two countries signed agreements on military and economic co-operation, apparently deferring any decision on the future of Mayotte.

(RSF/IFEX) - Reporters Without Borders is stunned by the Rwandan government's inquisitorial behaviour towards two journalists working for the international media, who were publicly censured by the information minister, public radio chief and police spokesman on 26 January 2006, two days after President Paul Kagame spoke of the press with contempt at a cabinet meeting.
Umukundwa was taken to task for her coverage of the controversy resulting from the objections raised by three newspaper editors to the annual report issued on 9 December by the High Press Council (HCP), which regulates the Rwandan media, and for her references to Amnesty International's bleak assessment of press freedom in Rwanda.
Information minister Laurent Nkusi accused her of taking an interest only in news "critical of the government" and said this showed she was "the only source of information for Reporters Without Borders and other organisations."
