Description
Authorities on the French Indian Ocean island of Mayotte on Monday begin demolishing homes in a large slum in an operation against sub-standard housing and illegal migration.
France has deployed hundreds of police officers and gendarmes in Mayotte -- the country's poorest department -- since April to prepare a major security measure called Operation Wuambushu ("Take Back" in the local language).
Diggers started destroying the sheet-metal shacks in the Talus 2 slum in the Majicavo area at around 7:30 am (0430 GMT) on Monday. IMAGES
