Biography
Born on the island of Mohéli in 1965, he gained a degree in constitutional law in Ukraine and worked as a political adviser in Comoros, becoming secretary general of the Comoros Republican Party.
Before being appointed Prime Minister on 29 November 2000, he served as Secretary General for Defense in the Presidency and played a leading role in peace negotiations with Anjouan, leading to the {{ill|Fomboni Accords|fr|Accords de Fomboni|pt|Acordos de Fomboni}}. In January 2002, it was agreed, despite some opposition, that he would replace Colonel Azali Assoumani as interim head of state{{cite web|title=Comoros|url=http://www.worldstatesmen.org/Comoros.html|work=worldstatesmen.org|accessdate=30 October 2010}} and oversee the Transitional Government of National Unity in the run-up to the legislative and presidential elections. Due to his Mohélian origins, he was ineligible to run for the union presidency in 2002, when the first four-year term was reserved for a Grande Comorian. After the return of Azali to the presidency in May 2002, Hamada Madi was kept on as special advisor without portfolio with Union cabinet status.
After waiting several months Bolero got the permission from the Presidency in April 2007 to leave the country.
In 2016 Modi became Secretary General of the Indian Ocean Commission.{{cite magazine |last1=Caslin |first1=Olivier |title=Hamada Madi Boléro : " Les pays de l'Océan indien doivent s'impliquer davantage " |url=https://www.jeuneafrique.com/mag/338470/politique/hamada-madi-bolero-pays-de-locean-indien-doivent-simpliquer-davantage/ |accessdate=28 January 2019 |magazine=Jeune Afrique |date=15 July 2016 |language=fr}} He was succeeded on 16 July 2020 by {{ill|Vêlayoudom Marimoutou|fr}}.{{cite web|url=https://ecoaustral.com/velayoudom-marimoutou-succede-hamada-madi-la-tete-de-la-coi/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230930235225/https://ecoaustral.com/velayoudom-marimoutou-succede-hamada-madi-la-tete-de-la-coi/ |title=Vêlayoudom Marimoutou succède à Hamada Madi à la tête de la COI |language=fr |publisher=L'Eco Austral |date= |archive-date=30 September 2023}}
