Mauritian Solidarity Front (in French Front Solidarité Mauricien), also known by its acronym FSM, is a political party in Mauritius trying to represent the island nation's sizable Muslim minority. Until 2004, the party was known as Hizbullah (Party of God) (no relation to the Lebanese party Hezbollah).[citation needed] The theocratic party is centered around its leader Cehl M. Fakeemeeah. In 1992, Cehl Fakeemeeah announced the formation of the Hizbullah, later renamed Mauritian Solidarity Front. FSM is also considered to be the real successor of Comite Action Musulman (C.A.M.) led by Sir Abdul Razakh Mohammed in the past. In fact, since the Elections of 2000, there was no Muslim party in Mauritius except FSM. The history of Mauritius recognise FSM as the second-largest Muslim party in the history of Mauritius.
