Moussa Sacko (2nd-R), 25, a Malian deported from France, where he had lived since he was a young child, sits with his new friends and relatives as they listen to music and drink tea in Bamako, Mali, December 5, 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
