After flushing out the rebels, the Army regained control of Mutsamudu the capital city of Anjouan.In a statement, French authorities acknowledged the arrival of the rebels and said they were working with the Comorian authorities to conduct an in-depth investigation.
The objective is to fully understand the implications of addressing requests for political asylum by some of the rebels who are in their custody.
