| Comorian rebel leader Mohamed Bacar has fled to the French-run Indian Ocean island of Mayotte, a Comorian government official said on Wednesday. Joint AU-Comorian forces took control of the nearby island of Anjouan on Tuesday, hours after attacking to topple Bacar who seized power in 2001 and clung on after an illegal election last year. "French authorities have just confirmed to me that Mohamed Bacar is in Mayotte with 11 people," Mohamed Bacar Dossar, a senior Comorian government official told Reuters. |
