Comoran and Tanzanian African Union soldiers (not in the picture) arrest an
injured Anjouanese man after shooting three rockets to his house in Mutsamudu on
25 March 2008
. The Comoran army said it had located the renegade leader of the
isle of Anjouan, Mohamed Bacar, during the operation it launched earlier March
25, 2008 with the African Union to oust him. Some 400 AND troops backed by
around 1,000 soldiers from Sudan and Tanzania launched a offensive before dawn
to wrest back control of the isle of Anjouan from Bacar, its self-proclaimed
leader, and capture him. | |
