COMOROS-POLITICS-UNREST

Comoros Armed forces members search and patrol the "Medina" for weapons and armed men at Mutsamudu on October 20, 2018 on the island of Anjouan. - The Comoros military started an operation on October 20, 2018 to disperse armed rebels who took control of Mutsamudu's old city centre on the island of Anjouan earlier this week, a government minister said. Security forces and rebels opposed to President Azali Assoumani have fought in the narrow streets of the medina quarter in Mutsamudu since October 15, with at least three people killed. Tensions in the coup-prone Indian Ocean archipelago have mounted in recent months as Assoumani bids to extend term limits through constitutional changes that could see him rule for 11 more years.
