This is the end of the vagueness maintained around “Wuambushu”.

Gérald Darmanin confirmed the shipment in recent days to the island of “four squadrons of mobile gendarmes, CRS-8 police officers, specialists in the fight against urban violence, a total of 510 law enforcement officers”.

Baptized “Wuambushu”, which can mean in Mahorais “reprise” as “itching powder”the operation plans to “redouble activity” against local delinquency, assures the Minister of the Interior. In total, “about forty organized criminal gangs” have been identified in Mayotte, he says in Le Figaro.
The objective is also to expel illegal migrants, mostly from the neighboring archipelago of the Comoros, settled in particularly unhealthy neighborhoods, called “bangas”. Several associations, including the League for Human Rights, have expressed concern that “France thus places minors in situations of intolerable vulnerability and danger”.
