Justice prohibited, Tuesday morning April 25, the evacuation and the destruction of a slum, which should have taken place today in Mayotte. The prefect appealed. On the island of Mayotte, tension is rising a little more each day between supporters and opponents of the “Wuambushu” operation.
A slum, symbol of the chaotic beginnings of the operation in Mayotte. It was to be the first destroyed, Tuesday, April 25, in the morning. But a last-minute legal action put the dismantling on hold. The inhabitants enjoy a respite of at least a few days, like this mother, who has a one-year residence permit. Last Thursday, the journalists of France Télévisions had met her while she was packing her bags. She was able to reinvest her house. “We are not yet sure what will happen in the next few weeks. But for the moment, it is better”she says.
The speeches keep getting tougher
According to justice, the destruction of these illegal dwellings could be dangerous for other neighboring houses. The decision has angered many residents of Mayotte who are calling for these dismantlings. Occupation of the town hall of the city of Dembéni on Tuesday noon, threatens to use force against delinquents or illegal immigrants. In this tense climate, the discourse continues to harden. The exasperation of elected officials and a large part of the population is also linked to the refusal of the Comoros to welcome these expelled nationals for the moment.
