Operation suspended in Mayotte, short ceasefire in Sudan and Molières 2023

Did you miss the news this early morning? We’ve put together a recap to help you see things more clearly.

Justice has decided to intervene in the “Wuambushu” operation. The Mamoudzou court suspended the evacuation of a slum in Mayotte, scheduled for Tuesday as part of the operation against crime and unsanitary housing carried out in this French department in the Indian Ocean.

The evacuation of this shantytown, located in Koungou near Mamoudzou, initially planned from 6 a.m., was therefore suspended, the justice noting “the existence of an assault”, due to the conditions of expulsion judged “irregular” by those opposing the eviction.

The population will have the right to a short respite in Sudan, while clashes have been raging since April 15 for control of power. Antony Blinken announced on Monday a seventy-two-hour ceasefire between the army and the paramilitary FSR. “After intense negotiations”, it has been in force since “midnight on April 24”, specified the head of American diplomacy.

Rima Abdul Malak recognizes it herself: during ceremonies of this type, “the role of the minister is to sit still and say nothing”. But this time, the Minister of Culture chose not to follow this unspoken rule. She indeed reacted strongly Monday evening in the middle of the Molières 2023, after being arrested by two artists on stage concerning the pension reform. “All alone, in his good ultraliberal logic, from the top of his ivory tower, [Emmanuel Macron] has decided to postpone the retirement age to 64 years “, for example accused the actress Toufan Manoutcheri.

A few seconds later, Rima Abdul Malak stood up and took a microphone to notably defend her record at the head of her ministry. Both the two artists and the minister were applauded by the audience. The ceremony then resumed, with numerous awards for the Comédie-Française and for the play “Oublie-moi”.
