Ali Soilih M'Tsashiwa (Arabic: علي صويلح; January 7, 1937 – May 29, 1978) was a Comorian socialist revolutionary and political figure who served as the third President of the Comoros from 3 January 1976 until a French-backed coup-d'etat toppled him in 13 May 1978. Soilih was then captured, tortured with a bayonet and killed while trying to escape.
