MAYOTTE: The African island that voted to be governed by France!

On the 22nd of November 1974, the four Comoros islands held an independence referendum. Three of the islands choose to become independent from France, except Mayotte. Why did this island that is part of the Comoros Archipelago choose to remain under French rule while the rest of the Comoros islands voted for independence? That is what we will dive into today. Hello and welcome to this channel where we explore African stories from history and today. If you like the content, don’t forget to like the video and subscribe to the channel.

The Comoros islands are islands situated between the coast of mainland South Eastern Africa and the North Western coast of Madagascar. We have also already published a video on the Comoros Islands, which I invite you to watch after having watched this one to the end.

The archipelago is made up mainly of 4 large islands; Ngazidja, Ndzuwani, Mwali, and Mayotte, also known as Maore. Today the first 3 islands are part of the Union of Comoros while Mayotte is an overseas French department. Why is this case? Well to answer that question we have to go back in time to as early as the 6th century. Note that the history of Mayotte is closely intertwined with the history of the other islands.

This is probably when the island was first inhabited. Bantu-speaking people and Malagasy people probably made up the bulk of the population. Other visitors were Arabs, Somalis, and Indians. Because of this, the Comoros islands together with Zanzibar, Pemba, Lamu, and other Kenyan and Tanzanian coastal towns formed a prosperous region in which Swahili culture flourished. Swahili culture was the result of the mixing of the Bantu and Arab cultures. Even today a major language spoken in Mayotte, Shimaore, is a close relative of Kiswahili. Fun fact the Comoros region gets its name from the word kamar, an Arabic word meaning moon. The Arabs referred to the archipelago as the islands of the moon.

In 1500 the Maore sultanate was established on the island. Mayotte is French for Maore. A few years later in 1503 the Portuguese sailed past the island and named it Espirito Santo but the name did not stick. In 1505 they finally landed on the island. Because of its treacherous harbors and smaller size, the island remained underdeveloped compared to its neighbors and often fell victim to pirate raids. The island was also often raided by Malagasy warriors for slaves. This depleted the island's population as well as the rest of Comoros.

By the early 19th century, the island was ruled by Sultans aligned with the Anjoan sultanate, who ruled Ndzuwani Island. However, it remained sparsely populated. As the century progressed the island was fought for between different sultans. In 1832 a former king of Iboina in Madagascar, Andraintsoly, conquered the island and became sultan of Mayotte. Then in 1935 the Anjoan sultanate regained the island and installed a Qadi that is sharia court judge, as governor.

Andriantsoly was having none of it and conquered the island again a year later. The last sultan of Mayotte realized that he needed a powerful ally to keep the Anjoan sultanate out of the island. The constant war had depleted the island's wealth and population. He then made a decision that would change the history of Mayotte forever by seeking when he started negations with the French. At the end of these negotiations, Mayotte was bought by the French in 1841. In later years France colonized the rest of the Comoros islands as well.

When the French bought the island slavery was abolished. They also started plantations on the island and brought in new laborers. Unfortunately, the abolition of slavery did not improve the freed slaves' lives because they were often forced to work under harsher conditions by the French colonialists on their new plantations. Despite the influx of new French plantation owners, the island was still sparsely populated and the French government tried to attract settlers by promising compensation, much like it had done on another island, La Reunion. We did a video on why Reunion chooses to remain under France so you can watch that video if you missed it.

Mayotte: A natural beauty that must be preserved | WIDE

Encircled by one of the world’s largest enclosed lagoons, the 101st French department is a real cultural crossroads between Africa, the Indian Ocean and Europe.

Mayotte’s population is very young: 55% of the population is under 20, the highest percentage of any French territory. But that doesn't mean traditions get lost here. Little villages still live in pace with age-old customs and nature reveals a surprise package of flora and fauna.

Did you know that the famous perfume maker Jean-Paul Guerlain used to own a garden here where he grew one of his main raw materials: the ylang-ylang?

Vivre à Mayotte

Entre idées reçues et méconnaissance du 101e département français, il était temps de présenter sous un angle différent la vie que l'on peut mener à Mayotte.
S'épanouir dans un cadre aussi exceptionnel ne peut se faire qu'en acceptant les contraintes et l'isolement qui parfois sont liées à la vie insulaire.
Une bonne bande de potes et une quantité illimitée d'émerveillement et le tour est joué.
Enjoy !!!

Mayotte : une beauté naturelle à préserver I WIDE

Cerné par l'un des plus vastes lagons fermés du monde, le 101ème département français est un véritable carrefour culturel entre l'Afrique, l'océan Indien et l'Europe.

La population de Mayotte est très jeune : 55% des habitants n’ont pas 20 ans. C’est le pourcentage le plus élevé de tous les territoires français. Mais cela ne veut pas dire que les traditions et la culture de Mayotte se perdent pour autant. Les petits villages vivent toujours au rythme de coutumes séculaires et la nature recèle encore une flore et une faune surprenantes.

Saviez-vous que le célèbre parfumeur Jean-Paul Guerlain possédait un jardin où il cultivait une de ses principales matières premières : l’ylang-ylang ?

Europa am anderen Ende der Welt: Leben auf Mayotte

Ein Stück #Europa vor der ostafrikanischen Küste? Das ist Mayotte! Die kleine Insel im indischen Ozean zwischen Mosambik und Madagaskar gehört ganz offiziell zu Frankreich und ist seit 2014 auch Mitglied der Europäischen Union. Wie sieht der Alltag junger Menschen auf Mayotte aus? Was macht das Leben am anderen Ende der Welt so besonders? Und welchen Bezug haben junge Menschen auf Mayotte zur EU und Europa?

Das wolltet auch ihr unbedingt wissen und habt dafür gestimmt, dass Hannah sich dort - irgendwo zwischen Europa und Afrika - einmal genau umschaut. In Mamoudzou, der Hauptstadt von Mayotte trifft Hannah die 18-jährige Moina. Moina ist auf Mayotte aufgewachsen, geht dort zur Schule und träumt davon, nach ihrem Abschluss Krankenschwester zu werden. In ihrer Freizeit spielt sie gerne Basketball. Doch wie Moinas Zukunft auf Mayotte aussehen wird, ist ungewiss.

Denn Moina, die als Baby zusammen mit ihrer Mutter nach Mayotte kam, ist auf der Insel nur so lange geduldet, wie sie zur Schule geht. Sie hat keine französischen Papiere. Sorgen macht sie sich deshalb aber nicht, das stellt Hannah schnell fest. Sie begleitet Moina für einen Tag durch ihren Alltag und erfährt dabei eine Menge über die Geschichte der Insel und die Kultur der Mahorer. Wusstest du zum Beispiel, dass das Durchschnittsalter auf Mayotte 17 ist? Und woran liegt es, dass so viele Menschen von den umliegenden Inseln nach Mayotte kommen? Über Instagram konntet ihr live dabei sein, selbst Fragen stellen und im Laufe des Tages immer wieder Entscheidungen für Hannah und Moina treffen und so den Dreh beeinflussen. Wie ihr Hannah ferngesteuert habt? Wie sie auf eure Entscheidungen reagiert? Das seht ihr in dieser ganz besonderen Folge “follow me.reports”.
_______________

Das “follow me.reports” EU-Special: Ferngesteuert in Europa
Anlässlich der Europawahl habt ihr Aminata, Hannah und Robin in drei unterschiedliche europäische Länder geschickt und über Instagram mitbestimmt, was sie dort erleben.
Nicht vergessen: Auch am 26.05 könnt ihr wieder mitentscheiden: Diesmal über die politische Zukunft der EU! Also: Wählen gehen nicht vergessen!

About Mayotte: Mayotte is an archipelago in the Indian Ocean between Madagascar and the coast of Mozambique. Its a department and region of France, though traditional Mayotte culture is most closely related to that of the neighboring Comoros islands. The Mayotte archipelago is surrounded by a coral barrier reef, which shelters a lagoon and marine reserve that are popular diving destinations. // Mayotte (/maɪˈɒt/; French: Mayotte, majɔt; Shimaore: Maore, IPA: maˈore; Kibushi: Maori, IPA: maˈori), officially the Department of Mayotte (French: Département de Mayotte), is an overseas department and region and single territorial collectivity of France. It is located in the northern part of the Mozambique Channel in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Southeastern Africa, between Northwestern Madagascar and Northeastern Mozambique. Mayotte consists of a main island, Grande-Terre (or Maore), a smaller island, Petite-Terre (or Pamanzi), as well as several islets around these two. Mayottes land area is 374 square kilometres and, with its 299,348 people according to January 2022 official estimates, is very densely populated at 800 inhabitants per km2 (2,073 per sq mi). The biggest city and prefecture is Mamoudzou on Grande-Terre. The Dzaoudzi–Pamandzi International Airport is located on the neighbouring island of Petite-Terre. The territory is also known as Maore, the native name of its main island.

map of Mayotte Island [ plan de Mayotte ] [ France ]

In 1500, the Maore sultanate was established on the island. In 1503, Mayotte was observed and named (firstly Espirito Santo) by Portuguese explorers, but not colonized. The island has known several eras of wealth (especially during the 11th century at Acoua or between 9th and 12th centuries at Dembéni), being an important part of the Swahili coast culture. However, its sister island Anjouan was preferred by international traders due to its better suitability to large boats, and, for a long time, Mayotte remained poorly developed compared to the three other Comoros islands, often being targeted by pirates and Malagasy or Comorian raids.


Andriantsoly, the last sultan of Mayotte, from 1832 to 1843
In 1832, Mayotte was conquered by Andriantsoly, former king of Iboina on Madagascar; in 1833, it was conquered by the neighbouring sultanate of Mwali (Mohéli island in French). On 19 November 1835, Mayotte was again conquered by the Ndzuwani Sultanate (Anjouan sultanate in French); a governor was installed with the unusual Islamic style of Qadi (from the Arabic قاض which means judge). However, in 1836 it regained its independence under a last local Sultan. Andriantsoly won again the island in 1836, but his depopulated and unfortified island was in a weak position towards the sultans of Comoros, Malagasy kings and pirates. Looking for the help of a powerful ally, he began to negotiate with the French, installed in the nearby Malagasy island of Nosy Bé in 1840.

Mayotte was purchased by France in 1841, and integrated to the Crown. This also entailed the end of the slavery regime which had dominated the island for centuries: the slaves were set free and most of the masters, ruined, had to leave the island.

Mayotte therefore became a French island, but it remained an island emptied of its inhabitants by decades of wars, as well as by the exodus of former elites and some of their slaves: most of the cities were abandoned, and nature regained its rights over the old plantations. The French administration therefore tried to repopulate the island, recalling first of all the Mayotte exiles or refugees in the region (Comoros, Madagascar), proposing the former exiled masters return in exchange for compensation, then by inviting wealthy Anjouan families to come and set up trade. France launched some first major works, such as the realization in 1848 of the Boulevard des Crabes connecting the rock of Dzaoudzi to Pamandzi and the rest of Petite-Terre.

In the wake of the West Indies and Réunion, the French government planned to make Mayotte a sugar island: despite the steep slopes, large plantations were developed, 17 sugar factories were built and hundreds of foreign workers (mainly African, in particular Mozambic Makwas) hired from 1851 onwards. However, production remained mediocre, and the sugar crisis of 1883–1885 quickly led to the end of this crop in Mayotte (which had just reached its peak of production), leaving only a few factory ruins, some of which are still visible now. The last sugar plant to be closed was Dzoumogné in 1955: the best preserved, and now heritage, is Soulou, in the west of the island.

At the Berlin conference in 1885, France took control over the whole Comoros archipelago, which was actually already ruled by French traders; the colony took the name of Mayotte and dependencies.

In 1898, two cyclones razed the island to the ground, and a smallpox epidemic decimated the survivors. Mayotte had to start from the beginning once again, and the French government had to repopulate the island with workers from Mozambique, Comoros and Madagascar. The sugar industry was abandoned, replaced by vanilla, coffee, copra, sisal, then fragrant plants such as vetiver, citronella, sandalwood and especially ylang-ylang, which later became one of the symbols of the island.


Map of the Comoros Union (three island on the left) and the Mayotte French department (right)
Mayotte was the only island in the archipelago that voted in referenda in 1974 and 1976 to retain its link with France and forgo independence (with 63.8% and 99.4% of votes respectively). The United Nations' constant policy regarding decolonisation has been that independence must be effected in the framework of the colonial borders and for that reason it has not recognized the validity of that referendum; during the late 20th century, over twenty UN resolutions have condemned France's annexation of Mayotte, while the independent Comoros have never ceased to claim the island.[21] A draft 1976 United Nations Security Council resolution recognizing Comorian sovereignty over Mayotte, supported by 11 of the 15 members of the council, was vetoed by France.[22] It was the only time, as of 2020, that France cast a lone veto in the council.[23] The United Nations General Assembly adopted a series of resolutions on the issues, under the title Question of the Comorian Island of Mayotte up to 1995. mapa de mayotte , #mayotte , 马约特岛地图

About this video:
Mayotte officially the Department of Mayotte (French: Département de Mayotte) is an overseas department and region and single territorial collectivity of France. It is located in the northern part of the Mozambique Channel in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Southeastern Africa, between Northwestern Madagascar and Northeastern Mozambique. Mayotte consists of a main island, Grande-Terre (or Maore), a smaller island, Petite-Terre (or Pamanzi), as well as several islets around these two. Mayotte is the most prosperous territory in the Mozambique Channel, making it a major destination for immigration.
Mayotte's land area is 374 square kilometres (144 sq mi) and, with its 299,348 people according to January 2022 official estimates,[1] is very densely populated at 800 inhabitants per km2 (2,073 per sq mi). The biggest city and prefecture is Mamoudzou on Grande-Terre. The Dzaoudzi–Pamandzi International Airport is located on the neighbouring island of Petite-Terre. The territory is also known as Maore, the native name of its main island.

Mayotte is one of the overseas departments of France as well as one of the 18 regions of France, with the same status as the departments of Metropolitan France. It is an outermost region of the European Union and, as an overseas department of France, part of the eurozone.

French is the official language and is spoken as a second language by an increasing part of the population, with 63% of the population 14 years and older reporting in the 2007 census that they could speak it.[4] The native languages of Mayotte are Shimaore, which is the most spoken, and the lesser spoken Kibushi, a Malagasy language, of which there are two varieties, Kibushi sakalava, most closely related to the Sakalava dialect of Malagasy, and Kibushi antalaotsi, most closely related to the dialect spoken by the antalaotra of Madagascar. Both have been influenced by Shimaore.

Mayotte is an overseas department/region and single territorial collectivity of France officially named the Department of Mayotte (French: Département de Mayotte). It consists of a main island, Grande-Terre (or Maore), a smaller island, Petite-Terre (or Pamanzi), and several islets around these two. Mayotte is part of the Comoros archipelago, located in the northern Mozambique Channel in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Southeast Africa, between northwestern Madagascar and northeastern Mozambique. Mayotte is more prosperous than other countries of the Mozambique Channel, making it a major destination for illegal immigration.

Mayotte's land area is 374 square kilometres (144 sq mi) and, with its 288,926 people according to January 2021 official estimates, is very densely populated at 773 inhabitants per km2 (2,001 per sq mi). The biggest city and prefecture is Mamoudzou on Grande-Terre. The Dzaoudzi–Pamandzi International Airport is located on the neighbouring island of Petite-Terre. The territory is also known as Maore, the native name of its main island, especially by advocates of its inclusion in the Union of the Comoros.

Administratively, Mayotte is one of the overseas departments of France, and like the other four overseas departments, it is also one of the 18 regions of France, and a fully integrated part of the republic with the same status as Metropolitan France. Mayotte is an outermost region of the European Union and, as an overseas department of France, part of the eurozone.

Despite Mayotte's status as a department of France, the majority of the inhabitants do not speak French as a first language,[4] although a majority of the people 14 years and older report in the census that they can speak French (with varying levels of fluency). The language of the majority is Shimaore, a Sabaki language closely related to the varieties in the neighbouring Comoros Islands. The second most widely spoken native language is Kibushi, a Malagasy language, of which there are two varieties, Kibushi Kisakalava, most closely related to the Sakalava dialect of Malagasy, and Kibushi Kiantalaotra. Both have been influenced by Shimaore. The vast majority of the population is Muslim.

The island was populated from neighbouring East Africa with later arrival of Arabs, who brought Islam. A sultanate was established in 1500. In the 19th century, Mayotte was conquered by Andriantsoly, former king of Iboina on Madagascar, and later by the neighbouring islands Mohéli and then Anjouan before being purchased by France in 1841. The people of Mayotte voted to remain politically a part of France in the 1974 referendum on the independence of the Comoros. Mayotte became an overseas department on 31 March 2011 and became an outermost region of the European Union on 1 January 2014, following a 2009 referendum with an overwhelming result in favour of the department status.

The new department is facing enormous problems and challenges. According to an INSEE report published in 2018, 84% of the population live under the poverty line (established at €959 per month and per household), compared to 16% in metropolitan France, 40% of dwellings are corrugated sheet metal shacks, 29% of households have no running water, and 34% of the inhabitants between the age of 15 and 64 do not have a job. In 2019, with an annual population growth of 3.8%, half the population was less than 17 years old. In addition, as a result of massive illegal immigration from neighboring islands, 48% of the population are foreign nationals.

Marine Envronment

Mayotte is surrounded by a typical tropical coral reef. It consists in a large outer barrier reef, enclosing one of the world's largest and deepest lagoons, followed by a fringing reef, interrupted by many mangroves. All Mayotte waters are ruled by a National marine Park, and many places are natural reserves.

The outer coral reef is 195 km long, housing 1,500 km2 of lagoon, including 7.3 km2 of mangrove. There are at least 250 different species of coral, 760 tropical fish species, and the National Natural Heritage Inventory (INPN) has no fewer than 3,616 marine species, but this is probably a far cry from the actual count. As this region of the world is still poorly inventoried by scientists, the waters of Mayotte continue to harbour many unknown species of science, and allow important scientific discoveries each year.
