 JS Online: Coup Attempted in Comoros Islands   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
MUTSAMUDU, Comoros - Soldiers opposed to the leader of the secessionist island of Anjouan briefly occupied the port and state radio station Monday, in an effort to stage the second coup in the Comoros islands this month, witnesses said.
A group of 20 soldiers from the presidential guard fired shots in the air and forced staff to leave the radio station, radio employees told The Associated Press.
Hours after Monday's attempted coup, life in Anjouan's capital, Mutsamudu, was calm, with soldiers patrolling the streets, residents said.

 Guardian | Another day, another coup
Two hours later, we rounded the northern point and approached Mutsamudu, one of the remotest capitals on the globe, particularly since the island seceded from the Comoros Islands in 1997 and so excluded itself from what is normally referred to as civilisation.
We were high above the medina, the maze-like Arab bazaar that forms the heart of Mutsamudu, and the favoured hiding place of all the plotters, rebels and ex-presidents.
My hosts in Mutsamudu were horrified when I asked if anyone had been killed in the recent coup.

In Mayotte the boat (an Anjouan boat) flew the Comorien flag (the official one, green and white), as its flag of origin.
Among the flags I saw on Anjouan in April 1998 included one that was a mixture of the French and Mawana flags: basically the blue, white, red of the French flag, but with the red part slightly stretched and incorporating the white hand and crescent [see photo].
As for this flag and the French one, it wasn’t always easy to tell the difference — as I said, it was a while before I even became aware there were two different flags.

On December 21, 1952, fourteen years after the discovery of the first living coelacanth, Captain Hunt, returning to the port of Mutsamudu on the Comorian island of Anjouan, was approached by two Comorans carrying a hefty bundle.
One, Ahamadi Abdallah, had caught by hand-line what the locals called a "mame" or "Gombessa", a heavy grouper-like fish that turned up on their lines from time to time.
As there was no better preservative available at Mutsamudu, Hunt and his crew salted the fish, then sailed with it to the harbor at Dzaoudzi, an islet off the Comoran island of Mayotte, where he bought formalin from the director of medical services.

Much of the aid, however, was questionable--for example, loans and grants to help the republic meet the payroll for its oversized civil service.
Other more plausible projects, such as the protracted development of a seaport at the town of Mutsamudu, construction of paved ring roads linking each island's coastal settlements, and the building of power stations, nonetheless tended to be instances of placing the cart before the horse.
That is, capital-intensive improvements to infrastructure had not been coordinated with local development projects; hence, little, if any, domestic commerce existed to benefit from road networks, electrical power, and world-class port facilities.
