Mayotte: the dams maintained for “a few more days”, according to citizen groups. Citizen collectives united under the banner of “Forces vives” are studying the written commitments of Gérald Darmanin, following his visit on Sunday.

The decision to maintain the dams is “important and difficult to make’, recognizes Safina Soula. “I don’t want to give the feeling of being on the side of the State,” she said.
