While we have been in the midst of a social movement against the pension reform
for more than three months, the state offensives against exiles continue andintensify. The Libertarian Communist Union is a signatory of the platform "No toOperation Wuambushu!» the text of which we transcribe here. ---- From April 22,the date of the end of Ramadan, the Minister of the Interior and Overseas GéraldDarmanin and the French government are planning a violent operation againstresidents of Mayotte from other islands of the Comoros . Named "Wuambushu", itwas discreetly validated by Emmanuel Macron in the defense council in the name ofthe fight against "delinquency" and "informal housing". On the program: 400 dailyevictions for a total of 24,000 evictions over two months, destruction of 10% ofinformal settlements on the island per day: the State is preparing to throw intothe streets and evict thousands of people and warns teachers that some of theirstudents will "disappear". For the occasion, 500 additional police officers areexpected as reinforcements, including police officers from the CRS8 or ERIS tosupport the RAID and the GIGN already on site.In a cynical way, the State is also counting on the almost total and systematicimpossibility of seizing a judge in order to be able to act in defiance of anylegal framework. If "Wuambushu" is launched, it is therefore for an unleashing ofviolence that we must prepare, within the framework of a military-policeoperation which is part of the continuity of the authoritarian hardening of thegovernment and its violent repression. strangers. The current offensive ismoreover justified by a far-right discourse, making Comorians and foreigners theculprits of the social situation on the island and of all the evils that affectits inhabitants. This masks the reality of a territory where 77% of theinhabitants of the island live below the poverty line and where the unemploymentrate reaches 34%, but above all the origin of this misery.France is however historically responsible for a schizophrenic situation since ittore Mayotte from the Comoros archipelago in the mid-1970s to maintain positionsin the Indian Ocean. Since 1976, twenty resolutions of the United Nations GeneralAssembly have affirmed the sovereignty of the Comoros over the island of Mayotte,which officially remained under French domination. The newly amputatedindependent Comorian state found itself struggling with a caricatural neocolonialpolicy, which left this country bloodless. While the permanent policy ofcommunity division, consubstantial with colonialism, increasingly anchoredMahoran society to France, making the island an overseas territory and then adepartment.Colonial managementThe State has continuously tightened its migration policy and the receptionconditions for foreigners and in particular for Comorians from other islands:introduction of the "Balladur visa" by Charles Pasqua in 1995, reduction ofasylum application deadlines to seven days, hardening of the law of the land...Exceptional laws which have given rise to a hunt for undocumented migrants, whocome and go on makeshift boats, taking disproportionate risks and creating averitable marine cemetery between Mayotte and the neighboring island of Anjouan.In 2016, La Cimade estimated the human toll of this policy at more than 12,000dead at sea, this data not being updated due to a deliberate policy of hiding thedead.We strongly denounce "Wuambushu". This demonstration of security force will onlyworsen an already dramatic situation and provide the State with a laboratory forits migration policy which will be further tightened with the next immigrationlaw. The fight against the operation is inseparable from the fight to roll backthe authoritarian offensive in progress. It is therefore essential that all theorganizations of the social movement take it up and also mobilize on April 29,the next date of demonstration against the government's future immigration bill.https://www.unioncommunistelibertaire.org/?Contre-l-Etat-raciste-Non-a-l-operation-Wuambushu_________________________________________A - I N F O S N E W S S E R V I C EBy, For, and About AnarchistsSend news reports to A-infos-en mailing listA-infos-en@ainfos.ca
