Title: Mayotte
Description: The number of men, women, and children who have died crossing the sea between Anjouan and Mayotte is currently estimated to be about 20,000 souls. This everyday, although discrete, tragedy elevates this part of the globe to the fatal title of the "largest marine cemetery." The author, through this poignant story, inspired by true events, seeks to denounce the plight of the Comorian people, in which historically and currently France has a share of responsibility. Survivors who managed to reach Mayotte, France's 101st department, since March 31, 2011, refuse to eat some fish, considering that the fish have fed on the bodies of their friends and relatives. Fish was human flesh.
