I haven't been here for a minute, because it was a little slow but I wonder if alot happened. I heard from this man before also who seem might be also a relation from Foum womb. Did you know in Comorian language Mbafoum means from Foum womb? Anyway...here is his story may be you'll recognize him also...afterwards, we can may be, start with people that we know either in Tanzania or Comoro. If you are in Comoro than may be you may know more people then I would. Anyway...here is forum from a brother who did post a something here too besides me who started this string of Sultans of comoros. And I won't stop till I know who my peoples are!!! read the discusion from brother Aliaman Msafoum. I quote
"I just came across this page and read obout Sultan of Comoro particularly Musa Fumu waFey Fumu.I know my greatgrandfather is Msafoum Wafeyfum ( this is how it spells in all my fathers documents "Msafoum") I have heard about Mba Fumu but I must admit I don't know much about him .Iwent to Comoro as a young man and was much satisfied by what I have learnd from the stories I used to hear from my father.I met my uncles and my aunty and stayed in Msafoum(Musa Wafum)family house called JUMBE which means Palace in Moroni next to the main mousqe though it did not look like one but it was just as my father used to discribe it in his family tells.Iwish inspector Aboud Said was alive to day because he was the man who knew about Musa Fum waFeyfum history even he had his own radio program talking about Comoro history then.Well my name is Aliaman Abdulrahim Abdillah Msafoum born in Zanzibar we could be related.Get in touch "

Thanx it seems we r getting somewhere to manage and collect in4 about our parents. unfotunately all the oldys are dead otherw3ise I would have ask our bibi Afifa wa mbafoum about it, again bwana ali foum is also dead and his sons ddo not have much in4 about this thing, but yet we will collect and get intouch inshallah, in stoudjini i will try to ask unfortunately I am not in stoudjini i am in Oman and telephone are very expensive but yet we will get intouch inshallah

by take care.

Boy! we are all over the world! I am in USA, you're in Oman, the other brother I think is from Zanzibar and there is another also from Dubai. Can you imagine that.
But I am curious since you started with mentioning bibi Afifa wa mbafoum. Have you ever heard of this woman brothers & sisters? I know of a few. Such as Rabia wa mbafoum, Saleh wa mbafoum, and some of their descend that I know may be you may recognize some names...There is Shaaban Saleh and their kids Salum, Tahiya etc...Moh'd Saleh and their kids me, Ali,Thabit etc. also Abudu wa mbafoum or her mother, this man is married to BiAjuza and their kids Umi, Batuli etc..from Rabia wa mbafoum, there is Salma, Maua etc...That is just to name a few I've heard of....
Now, My aim in finding out my clan.... As you know our ancestors ruled Comorian Islands and at that time they had a wealth of land, and substances that were taken away from them by French. They colonize the Comoros brought chaos and stole all kinds of treasures from them. I believe they need to pay reparation to all the descendants of Sultans of Comoros.

Thanks 4 the in4 u gave me i never know about shaaban saleh and his brother I know tahiya and salum. also I know mama loulou wa msihansianother name mwanoor wa msihansi) bwana aboudus mother is our relative uncle haitham told me he is in london if u will get him u might get more in4. bibi afifa had a sister called rukiya she was the mother of washee also she had a brother called kadhi wa mbafoum used to leave in mombasa. washee has 2 sons abdulshakur working at radio in washington and mahmoud at UN in NY. if u try 2 get them u will have mor in4 do not 4get to pass. also we have a brother called ibrahim ahmed he is in jeddah.

That's so funny! extra ordinary. Well if you know Tahiya and Salum then I have to let you know that they are the Shaaban Saleh's kid. If you ever talk to them you can ask them about me. I met bwana Haitham in Philadelphia in the yr 1999 or 2000 at Alwiya's & Ahmed Shariff's home. I also know mama loulou in my childhood I used to visit her with my father. I think I also met Abdulshakur but they don't know if I'm related to them and if they do,they probably don't talk of it!? thanks for the information things are unravel....Peace

Hi guys I hope after collectiong these in4mation do not let them go pls try to built a tree and reach some where wich I hope if we try will succeed and pls be sure of any in4 before putting them on the tree othewise it will be an embarracement. 4 today I will give u what I have collected since my last post. I got some information from a guy called Jaffar who is my cousin he is jamalilayl and he is the acting council of comoro in Oman. he goes to comoro almost every month and he is not a zanzibari is a comorian I hope u can understand what I menat to say he did not stay in Zanzibar like us. he is ralated to Bi Sharifa Mohamed Mawlan. in his trips to comoro he went to a place called Itsanzeni and he met an old guy who again is our relative. he collected these information and wrote them in a book.

1. thre was mbafoum wa jumbe foum and there was mbafoum wa bwana Hajj Mousa. now I will give the chain. mbafoum and jumbe foum and fey foum theire father called : bwana Hajj Mousa Abdulrahim Uddeh. He was an Arab from Muscat but unfortunately we did not get his tribe no from which area of muscat he is coming from. he used to be called mzee muscati and even when my mum came here in muscat he asked if we could trace mzee muscati people and I just laugh coz its totally funny u cannot trace anyone by a nick name. there mother as per jaffar words from the old guy was "Silima" now I will give the mbafoum kids who I know could be more but these are the ones I know : Bwana kadhi wa mbafoum, Rukiya wa mbafoum and Afifa wa mbafoum and these are Abdulshakur's family when u get to meet him ask. now with Jumbe foum I know my parents, grand bibi was mhaza wa jumbefoum and her sister simmama wajumbefoum may be there were others but not given in my in4book. may I ask u a question do u know Noor Ibrahim and her people and Rabia and Ridhwan Tajiri? I wish their bibi was alive we wouldnt have any prob coz she knew us and I m sure u too. are dinna their cousin? coz they gave me yr email and I sent u but u did not reply. if u can reply through email it will be nice also the one who named himself kilimanjaro if we know u people and try to built a family tree which could be accessed by relatives offcourse not everyone that will be nice. thanks for telling me u r coming from mbafoum wa jumbe foum coz it seems jumbefoum he named yr babu after his brother where we have now mbafoum senior and junior. pls check again coz I am little confused with mbafoum ali said according to what we have it should be mbafoum wa jumbefoum wa bwana hajjj mousa bin abdulrahim pls check again. salum shaaban told me he is going to comoro on and off can we ask him by email to check these in4mation for us? in Zanzibar there are many people we can ask but I do not have their no. like bi mwinate, check with Noor Ibrahim if she happen to know anything and also rabia and ridhwan or their parents I hope they are still alive like bi Zawadi Shioni. tel are very expensive here in oman yet i do ask when i call my people there and they are the ones who gave these names othersise when I was there i never bother of such a thing. by kwa kheri ngarijo honana pls email me it will be easy com.
