Comoros President Azali Assoumani offered rebels on Anjouan island an amnesty to surrender weapons, aiming to end a week of violence between security forces and insurgent fighters, according to documents seen Friday.

"(Assoumani) is willing to offer immunity to any civilian who surrenders their weapon to military authorities," said the deal signed by the central government and the opposition-controlled Anjouan administration.
