"Mayotte Caught in French Citizenship Controversy"

The French possession of Mayotte in the Indian Ocean is at the center of a citizenship controversy as the government considers abolishing the automatic right to French citizenship by birth on the island due to mass immigration concerns. This move has sparked debate across the political spectrum in France, with both left and right expressing reservations about the proposed reform. Mayotte, facing a wave of civil disobedience over immigration and security issues, has become a focal point for the broader discussion on citizenship laws in France.
