"You must leave, decision of the court!"
(“You must leave, by court decision!”) Day is breaking in Grande-Synthe under a light drizzle.
The Sécherie camp is waking up.
A judicial officer goes from tent to tent to ask the migrants to leave.
He is accompanied by police officers and a translator.
"Yes, it's good, we saw, we understood"
, answers him, annoyed, a young Iraqi.
Others ask for details:
"Where are we going?"

"Where do the buses go?"

The dismantling of the camp will last until 2 p.m.
In peace and in front of many journalists.
Forty CRS vans, hundreds of police officers secure the operation.
Dozens of cleaning agents in coveralls are gradually cleaning up the 25,000 m2 of this site littered with tents and mountains of rubbish.
Some exiles prefer to dismantle their makeshift shelter themselves and gather their belongings in bags before leaving the premises with a cart from the hypermarket located just in front of the camp.
I have a crappy life right now.
I do not know what to do.
I have to go to England
