No to operation wuambushu! ---- From April 22, the date of the end of Ramadan,
the Minister of the Interior and Overseas Gérald Darmanin and the Frenchgovernment are planning a violent operation against residents of Mayotte fromother islands of the Comoros . Named "Uwambushu", it was discreetly validated byEmmanuel Macron in the defense council in the name of the fight against"delinquency" and "informal housing". ---- On the program: 400 daily evictionsfor a total of 24,000 evictions over two months, destruction of 10% of informalhousing on the island per day: the State is preparing to throw people onto thestreets 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 "Uwambushu" is launched, it is therefore for an unleashing ofviolence that we must be prepared, 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 is moreover justified by a far-right discourse, makingComorians and foreigners the culprits of the social situation on the island andof all the evils that affect its inhabitants. This masks the reality of aterritory where 77% of the inhabitants of the island live below the poverty lineand where the unemployment rate 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, 20 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 amputated independent Comorian state found itself struggling with acaricatural neocolonial policy, which left this country bloodless. While thepermanent policy of community division, consubstantial with colonialism,increasingly anchored Mahoran society to France, making the island an overseasterritory and then a department.The 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 7 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 "Uwambushu". 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.facebook.com/UnionCommunisteLibertaire/posts/pfbid037xZR79xNbuVEthReGcPb8PjxWmd2RUbAT9rDj8K4SscMVX5HhWe57pZrVHSeTbofl_________________________________________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
