Mayotte shanty town demolished to make way for school

Description

A shanty town in the north of Mayotte is demolished to make way for a high school, amid an operation to clear slums on the Indian Ocean island territory and expel illegal migrants, which has sparked clashes between local youth and security forces. The operation, called Operation Wuambushu ("Take Back" in the local language), aims to improve living conditions for Mayotte locals in France's poorest department, one of several French overseas territories that span the Caribbean to the Pacific.
