Two Anjouanese men sit on the ground after being arrested under suspicion of
collaborating with renegade Anjouan leader Mohamed Bacar in Mutsamudu, the
Anjouan capital, o
n 25 March 2008. A coalition of Comoran and African Union
troops invaded the rebel island of Anjouan today hunting for its renegade leader
and exchanging fire with his supporters along the way. Bacar's re-election last
year as president of Anjouan -- one of three islands forming the Indian Ocean
federation -- has never been recognised by the international community and he
has faced warnings of an invasion ever since. | |
