The military officer has served as President of Comoros, a country found in southeastern Africa, since April 2019. He became head of state after staging a coup d'état in 1999 and was elected president from 2002 to 2006 and again from 2016 to 2019.

It now consists of the 55 member states that make up the African Continent.
