Mothers of Kahani, in the center of Mayotte, demonstrated Thursday in front of the Gustave Eiffel high school against the recurring violence which rages within the establishment and in its surroundings.

In 2018, it was following incidents in this high school that the Mahorais had carried out a three-month general strike against insecurity.

On Monday, violent clashes took place in the establishment.

Rival bands fought by throwing stones and classrooms were ransacked.

About sixty gendarmes intervened and two arrests were made.

Violence which led the rector of Mayotte to close the establishment on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Fences, barbed wire and cameras

On Thursday, Kahani's mothers banned access to buses carrying students and prevented high school students from returning to class.

“The promises have always been given, but the problems are only getting worse in this establishment depriving their children of education,” says Haïdar Attoumani, co-president of the FCPE (Federation of Student Parents' Councils), in a letter addressed to the rector of Mayotte.

The mothers want students from problem villages to arrive at different times and ask for a round table with the prefect, the public prosecutor, the commander of the gendarmerie and the mayor of Ouangani commune, to which Kahani belongs.

Otherwise, they will continue to block the entrance to the school.

Note that for four years, fences, barbed wire and surveillance cameras have been installed at the school.

Gendarmes are permanently stationed on site now and the rectorate has mobile security teams.

But violence still invites itself in the establishment almost every day.
