Mayotte Protests Cast Cloud Over Comoros Migrant Departure Point
Mayotte, France's poorest administrative region, is experiencing protests against new immigrants, with locals setting up barricades demanding state action against undocumented migration. The island, part of the Comoros archipelago, chose to remain with France when the other islands gained independence. The Union of the Comoros still claims Mayotte, and tensions have risen due to France's tightening of immigration rules. Migrants from Comoros and mainland Africa, making up nearly half of Mayotte's population, are now stranded due to the protests, affecting the local economy heavily reliant on the migration route. France's proposal to deny citizenship to children born on Mayotte to non-French parents has further fueled discontent. Smugglers like Ousseni, who ferry people and goods to Mayotte, are facing losses, and migrants like Jeansi see no other option but to risk the dangerous journey by sea.

Comoros votes as controversial president predicts first round win
Comoros held a presidential election with incumbent Azali Assoumani expressing confidence in a first-round victory amidst opposition claims of electoral fraud. The opposition, including Mouigni Baraka Said Soilihi, accused Assoumani of ballot box stuffing and fraud, allegations dismissed by Assoumani and his campaign manager Houmed Msaidie. The election faced delays and was monitored under heavy police surveillance and by civil society groups. Assoumani, who has been in power since 2016 and extended his term through a constitutional referendum, faces criticism for his governance. Full results are expected later in the week, with a potential second round scheduled for February 25 if no candidate wins outright.

Comoros stands against Mayotte's 'Operation Wuambushu': an operation 'neither friendly nor respectful of human rights'
The Union of Comoros has taken a stand against France's controversial 'Operation Wuambushu' in the ongoing dispute over Mayotte, an archipelago in the Indian Ocean. The Comoros public views the prohibition of the Maria Galanta ship, which was carrying irregular Comorian immigrants from Mayotte, as a victory. Mayotte's sovereignty is still claimed by the Comoros, and all parties involved are hopeful for an agreement.
