In 1995, the French military intervened in the Comoros Islands in Africa in order to defeat the Robert Denard mercenary group and reinstate the government of Mohamed Djoir. There were no casualties on the French side, and four people died and nine were injured on the ROKOMO side.

    In 1995, the French military intervened in the Comoros Islands in Africa in order to defeat the Robert Denard mercenary group and reinstate the government of Mohamed Djoir. The Comoros is an archipelago nation made up of three islands in southeastern Africa. There were no casualties on the French side, and four people died and nine were injured on the Comoros side.

     On September 28, 1995, Denar and his mercenaries staged a coup in the Comoros. Denar once again led a group of supporters to defeat the Comoros military, overthrowing Johar and installing Taki as president. Former President Ahmed Abdallah was involved. Immediately, the French government denounced Denar's mercenaries. Denar immediately formed a security force. With the defense agreement with the Comoros (1978) as a backdrop, the French government ordered the special forces to recapture the L'Comoro Islands. From September 28 to October 3, 1995, France dispatched 400 French marines and 200 special forces.

  On October 3, the French police force landed on Comoro. They immediately invaded the mercenary and security forces in Lokomo. Denar surrendered on October 4th. On October 5th, they overpowered the Lokomo mercenary group, arrested Denar, and deported him to a French prison. They reinstated Johar. More than 20 coups occurred in Comoros.
