Tsembéhou (also: salim leduc ) is a place in the center of the island of Anjouan in the Comoros . In 2010 it was the fifth largest town with 12,472 inhabitants.

geography

Tsembéhou is located in the la Cuvette (English: bowl) in the center of the island of Anjouan. Immediately adjacent are the towns of Drindri and Domoni , the main road connects the town with the port city of Bambao and with the towns of Koni Djodjo (Domoni) and Bazimini inland. Chandra is the name of the northern district, across the Tratringua river with the Cascade Tratringua waterfall of the same name . Tsembéhou is enclosed by a long mountain range that opens to the northeast and forms the "Cuvette" in which the place is located. Together with Chandra , the place forms a crescent open to the west, where fertile fields and orchards lie above the settlement. Tsembéhou itself extends along the river valley, which runs there from southwest to east. The cuvette is possibly the remains of a crater.

history

The age of the settlement is difficult to determine. The place was first mentioned in 1771 when Tumpa , a resident of Tsembéhou, proclaimed himself Sultan of Anjouan, making him the only local to assume this title. Usually this was the privilege of the Arab Chiracians . Tumpa was killed by the English in 1774 . In 1893 the colonialists Bouin et Regouin took over the domain of Sultan Abdallâh III (Mawana) with the seat of power in Bambao Mtsanga . Bouin and Regouin founded 1907 Société Coloniale Bambao that in northeastern Tsembéhou, in Hassandzé erected an antenna.

Legend has it that Tsembéhou was one of the first places to be founded by the so-called Chiraziens , who are referred to as immigrants from Shiraz in Persia .

In 1950 a cyclone devastated almost the entire place. There has been tremendous development since then. The primary school was built in the 1960s. In 1991 the place was electrified and in 1998 the water supply was installed. As a historical city, Tsembéhou tries to establish educational institutions: Foyer des Jeunes (youth club), Center de lecture et d'animation culturelle (cultural center), bazaar, radio and television stations and bank (Crédit rural, sanduk). There are also police, a health center and schools, as well as an orchestra (Wudjama Music) and a sports club (Association Sportive de Tsembéhou, Etoile Filante). In recent times the place has experienced strong growth, which is why new settlements were built (Sohamwé, Bandrani, Bandrajou, Hamudu, Nkomajou, Gendarmerie).
