Moussa Sacko, 25, a Malian deported from France, where he had lived since he was a young child, sits 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
