Moussa Sacko, 25, a Malian deported from France, where he had lived since he was a young child, talks with his great aunt, Daoule Bombote, 58, who raised him in Mali until the age of three before his departure to France, while they sit in the yard of his extended family in Bamako, Mali, December 4, 2024. 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. “I don’t feel at home,” Sacko said in Bamako, the capital of Mali, a country in the grips of a jihadist insurgency. He says he often feels lonely: “I am on the outside, in a bubble between Europe and Africa.” REUTERS/Luc Gnago
