Abdallah 's rule was strictly anti-communist , and on 3 December 1983 the Comoros became the only African state to break off diplomatic relations with the DPRK following the Rangoon bombing , when on 9 October that year the North Koreans attempted to assassinate the South Korean military ruler Chun Doo-hwan during a visit to Burma .

Relations resumed in the 1990s , with the end of Abdallah 's government in 1989 , replaced by a long series of likewise unstable regimes
