===Operation Barracuda===
Bokassa's overthrow by the French government was called "France's last colonial expedition" (''"la dernière expédition coloniale française"'') by veteran French diplomat [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacques_Foccart Jacques Foccart]. ''Operation Barracuda'' began on the evening of 20 September and ended early the next morning. An undercover commando squad from the French intelligence agency [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SDECE SDECE] (now [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DGSE DGSE]), joined by Special Forces' [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1st_Marine_Infantry_Parachute_Regiment 1st Marine Infantry Parachute Regiment], or ''1<sup>er</sup> RPIMa'', led by Colonel Brancion-Rouge, landed by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transall Transall] and managed to secure the Bangui M'Poko airport with little resistance. Upon arrival of two more French military transport aircraft, containing over 300 French troops, a message was sent by Colonel Brancion-Rouge to Colonel Degenne to come in with his ''Barracudas'' (codename for eight [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A%C3%A9rospatiale_Puma Puma helicopters] and Transall aircraft), which took off from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N%27Djamena N'Djamena] military airport in neighbouring Chad.
