Mayotte: serious concerns about an operation against illegal immigration and slums. The operation is scheduled to begin at the end of Ramadan and will continue until June.
Undocumented migrants would be the first to be targeted. Every year, nearly 25,000 people are arrested and deported to the neighbouring island of Comoros. The Comorian authorities, for their part, have asked the France to "renounce" this operation. It will result in the deployment of 400 additional mobile gendarmes, a CRS company specializing in urban violence.
