The Wider Image: From France to Mali, a deportee’s struggle

Moussa Sacko, 24, a Malian deported from France, where he had lived since he was a young child, stands at a window of an old fast food store that he bought to turn into a household goods store, in Bamako, Mali, December 3, 2024. Sacko’s eye condition, nystagmus, causes rapid pupil movements. He saved enough with crowdfunded donations from French friends to buy a motorbike and a small kiosk to sell basic household goods. Sacko said riding the bike lifts his spirits. He has no funds yet to stock the kiosk, he said. “It is very complicated to make a living,” he said, his eyes jittery. REUTERS/Luc Gnago
