Life

Bacar is a former colonel in the Anjouan Armed Forces. In 2001 he came to power and declared himself president. After Anjouan rejoined the Union of Comoros in 2002, Bacar was elected president. After his term of office ended in April 2007, the Constitutional Court of the Comoros appointed a provisional president for the transition period until the new elections on June 10, 2007. Bacar's followers pushed him out of office, so the Comoros central government postponed the election by a week due to poor conditions. However, Bacar had votes on the original election day and received 90% of the votes cast. The Comorian federal government did not recognize his re-election, so that he ruled without legitimation.

His self-proclaimed presidency ended on March 25, 2008. On that day, the troops of the Comorian army , supported by units of the African Union , captured the island. Bacar had previously been flown out by the French military and asked for political asylum. He is currently in Réunion and is charged with illegal entry. The Comoros government is demanding his deportation.

With Regulation ( EC ) No. 243/2008 of March 17, 2008, the European Commission introduced restrictive measures against members of the former Bacar government.
