France's Mayotte faces migrant expulsion amid tensions with Comoros.
TL;DR
Comoros has refused to allow a boat carrying migrants from Mayotte, where French authorities have announced a controversial operation against illegal migrants, to dock. The country's maritime services company also said that the Mutsamudu port was suspending passenger traffic from Monday until Wednesday. Authorities in the French overseas territory of Mayotte announced they would launch Operation Wuambushu ("Take Back") to remove illegal migrants who have settled in slums on the island. The plan was for those without papers to be sent back to the Comoran island of Anjouan, 70 kilometres (45 miles) away from Mayotte.
