Mayotte doesn’t have any water left.

Mayotte is a French overseas territory. Aka a modern colony.

The majority of the (indigenous) population is Black and Muslims and yes it matters to the situation. Mayotte is not like other French overseas territories white people don’t go there on vacation and they don’t move to live there.

It became French in 1841. It used to belong to the Comoros. The indigenous people living in the Comoros and in Mayotte are genetically one and the same. In 1974 France made a referendum asking if they wanted to be independent or not on the 4 islands of the Comoros. The deal was that the votes would be counted TOGETHER. When France counted the vote they realized that the island of Mayotte “wanted to stay French” so they changed the rules and said that the vote was independent for each island and that because of the result in Mayotte a second vote would happen. That’s how Mayotte was officially separated from the Comoros and became a French overseas territory.

The inequalities between mainland France and Mayotte are crazy. In mainland France 15% of the population lives under the poverty threshold. In Mayotte it’s 75%.

Now it’s an island and islands are known to have very limited ressources in water. Except the situation is getting really bad. 30% of the population doesn’t have access to running water all year long they just live in such an extreme poverty they can’t get running water at home. But it reached the point where the 70% of the population who had access to drinkable running water now only have drinkable running water 2 DAYS A WEEK. ONLY 2 DAYS A WEEK.

Their only solution is bottled water. Except it cost twice as much as in mainland France and the stores are running out of bottled water the second they restock.

The administration (white people) is managing this like a bunch of fucking idiots and despite the low reserve they are still letting huge leaks of multiple liters of water happening in desalination factories.

At the same time the one and only natural lake of freshwater is dry.

France is letting it happen because it is not affecting white people. France is responsible they wanted to keep Mayotte for fishing then it’s their fucking job to make it so the population can live with dignity and access to basic needs like water. But they don’t care because the victims are Black and Muslims.

France is about to conduct an unjust, brutal repression and deportation of migrants in one of its Indian ocean territories, Mayotte. Mayotte was made a French department in 2011 by referendum.

Nouvelles illustrations ! Connaissez-vous le Crabier blanc (Ardeola idae) ? Ce petit héron, dont les populations sont en déclin constant, niche à Madagascar, aux Seychelles, à Mayotte et à La Réunion. J’ai eu le plaisir de travailler ici avec GEPOMAY (Groupe d’Études et de Protection des Oiseaux de Mayotte) pour la réalisation de ce superbe poster pédagogique. Bon weekend à tous et toutes ! :)

"Systemic problems in infrastructure and the worst drought seen since 1997 have combined to create a dire shortage of running water on the island of Mayotte, a French overseas territory in the Indian Ocean. Residents currently face having their water shut off from 5pm to 7am three times a week, a situation likely to become even worse when the summer arrives."

84% of the population lives in poverty with 40% of the populace living in shacks. As usual immigration (mostly from the neighbouring Comoros islands that Mayotte was part of until 1974) is being used to divide and distract people.

The island is supposedly a department of France and region of the EU and yet does anyone seriously think that a part of mainland France would be left in this state?

"It took less than 24 hours to raze the shantytown of Talus 2 on the French Indian Ocean island of Mayotte. France’s Operation Wuambushu (“take back”) began on Monday last week in its overseas territory, between Madagascar and Mozambique, with a dozen excavators and trucks carrying police officers. By Tuesday 23 May, most of the neighbourhood’s 162 informal homes had been destroyed, leaving hundreds of people without shelter.

Details of the operation were revealed in February as President Emmanuel Macron approved sending 510 additional French police officers to Mayotte with the aim of fighting “gangs, substandard housing and irregular immigration”.

Backed by far-right collectives and elected officials in Mayotte, the Macron government has begun waging a tough battle on the island.

Already, police have been using live rounds and arresting young people alleged to be involved in criminal gangs. The government reportedly aims to deport between 10,000 and 20,000 undocumented people (310,000 people live in Mayotte, an estimated half of whom are foreigners), and to destroy 1,000 bangas, or informal housing, in slums where 40% of the island’s inhabitants live. ..."

"... Residents say the operation has brought a climate of fear that has crystallised into violent anti-Comoran sentiment. On 24 April, the initial intended start date of the operation, Salime Mdéré, vice-president of the departmental council of Mayotte, talked about “thug” and “terrorist” Comoran youths on evening television. “It might be necessary to kill some of them,” he said. “I’m weighing my words.”"

Mayotte a soif. Depuis ce lundi 4 septembre, la quasi-totalité des communes de l’archipel est privée d’eau deux jours sur trois. Vous avez bien lu. En France, en 2023, alors que le camp présidentiel use des polémiques les plus abjectes pour faire oublier les véritables problèmes de la rentrée, les populations du département ne peuvent boire et se doucher qu’une journée sur trois.

En cause, une sécheresse inédite depuis 1997, mais surtout l’indigence des infrastructures hydriques sur place, résultat de décennies d’abandon par l’État du département le plus pauvre de France. La moitié des Mahorais vit avec moins de 160 euros…par mois !

Entre risques sanitaires, mépris des outre-mers et inaction climatique, le gouvernement français a laissé prospérer toutes les conditions favorables pour faire planer sur Mayotte, 101ème département français, l’ombre d’une crise humanitaire sans précédent.
