Minister of the Interior Gérald Darmanin and Marie Guévenoux will travel to Mayotte on Saturday evening. The archipelago has been the scene of violent clashes for several days.

Some residents welcome this arrival, exasperated by the delinquency that reigns on the island. “No one goes out at 6 p.m. anymore”, says a hotel manager in frustration in Mayotte. The French department of the Indian Ocean is affected by an acute water crisis.
