"In the first, the invasion of an African country, in this particular instance the Comoros by mercenaries, is an unacceptable affront and a humiliating experience for the people of that country and an embarrassment for the French Government. Secondly, being unacceptable and universally condemned by all, it was inevitable that some urgent action needed to be taken to bring about an African military intervention or foreign intervention to restore normalcy in the country. It is within this context that I have expressed understanding for the action undertaken by France. I will therefore continue to underscore the fact that a situation in which a bunch of mercenaries can invade any of our Member States and change the government unconstitutionally, remains totally unacceptable to the OAU." Dr. Salim, October 5, 1995
