Comoros Refuses to Accept Deported Migrants From French Mayotte, Closes Port: Comoros
Comoros decided to suspended all passenger traffic at the Mutsamudu port on the island of Anjouan, where deported migrants usually land on Anjouan Island, from Monday to Wednesday, after authorities in Mayotte"As long as the French side decides to do things unilaterally, we will take our decisions," the Comoran Interior Minister Fakridine Mahamoud said Monday, adding that none of the deported migrants"will enter a Comoran port".
Around half of Mayotte's roughly 350,000 population is estimated to be foreign, most of them Comoran. France intends to send those without documents to Anjouan, which lies only 70 kilometres from Mayotte.
