If you’re travelling to Wallis and Futuna before October, don’t ask the locals for information about their new ruler. Tomasi Kulimoetoke died in May after a long illness, prompting the Wallis’s chief minister to declare a six month period of mourning for the late monarch. According to Radio New Zealand International the topic of choosing a successor is considered to be off-limits during this period.
Tomasi Kulimoetoke signed a pact in 1961 to make Wallis and Futuna a French Overseas Territory. He ruled for over 35 years before passing away at the age of 88 years.
