In the Comoros, the judicial authorities ruled out this Tuesday, June 16, 2026, any medical evacuation of former President Ahmed Abdallah Sambi, sentenced to life imprisonment. The state of health of the former head of state has fueled a lively debate in the country for several weeks, and has even led to the placement under judicial control of two journalists. The conclusions presented by the authorities quickly aroused critical reactions in public opinion, in particular because of the discrepancies that emerged around the interpretation of the medical examinations carried out at the request of the general prosecutor's office.
