The confrontations between the soldiers and the presidential guard resulted in 9 dead and 40 wounded.

French forces were supporting ( Operation Almandin I ) and acted negotiators.

The unrest ended when the soldiers were finally paid their wages by France and the President agreed not to start legal proceedings against the soldiers.
