End to birthright citizenship in France's Mayotte causes dismay in Comoros • FRANCE 24 English

- Every year, thousands of people attempt the perilous 70km sea crossing from Comoros to the French overseas department of Mayotte in search of a better life there. But now, the French government has announced plans to take a radical step to deter more migrants from coming: denying citizenship to children born on Mayotte to foreign parents. For many in Comoros, itself a former French colony, the move has come as a shock, though not all are convinced it will stop people from attempting to leave.

They voted to leave France though
Mayottes should be able to travel all round France as there part of the republic and now France are discriminating them on there race and are saying no by stopping this birth citizenship
Mayotte didn't*
Truth is that....The island of Mayotte is of very little significance to France....infact its more of a headache that they would happily abandon....The people of Comoros should hold their government more accountable so as to have better governance...clearly France is doing a better job governing a smaller territory...plus you migrate to another territory illegally and still continue to have tonnes of kids and just subject them to a pathetic life
Comoros voted for independence, mayotte did not,
You went your seperate ways, now you must live with it.
Exactly.
Fun fact, the ilsand neighboring Mayotte petitioned the UN and Frnce to be a Frenhccolony again in 19998, but France said no because they are wimps and the UN would hae said no becaue it is a ananti white organizatin.
@@barron8006 So even without France they aren't independent.
@@bgcvetan That's one of my points. The decolonization fad, brought on by hyped impressions of Soviet communism and American free enterprise Calvanism, prompted Europe from disengaging their African/Asian territories, leaving scores of peoples without responsible government, foreign capital or hope.
@@barron8006 Or worse without protection, there are next to no christians left in The Middle east due to the power vacuum caused, over a million alone fled from Algeria to France.
@@bgcvetan we can only hope the euro finds his dignity when the j00 is removed from power. already we caan see this in europes shocking anti free speech laws
May God bless Africa 🌍. Africa over usa! 🙏
At this point, wouldn't be better for Comoros to ask to join France, then?
Wouldn't it be counter-productive for France to agree? They're adopting this law to prevent being overrun by Comorians.
@@peabase Maybe it would. Or maybe it would actually be better for both, since France could help stabilize the nation and give them some future. But I'm not even commenting on that, only on the intervieweds' comments.
@@peabaseMaybe yes, or maybe it would be better for both. Put the point here is that the argument from the interviewees are weird.
@@filipe5722 France isn't happy about having to support its colonial remnants as it is, so why take on another burden?
@@peabase Like I've said, that is a discussion completely irrelevant to my point.
