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

Daoule Bombote, 58, Moussa Sacko’s great aunt who raised him in Mali until the age of three before his departure to France, reacts while talking about Moussa’s new life conditions in Bamako, Mali, December 4, 2024. Like Sacko, hundreds of foreign nationals previously protected because they grew up in France now face expulsion under legislation introduced last year. Sacko was born in Mali but moved to France when he was a young child to get treatment for a chronic eye condition. He spent most of his life in Montreuil, a Paris suburb. REUTERS/Luc Gnago
