		<div id="textsize"><p class="p1">The village of Kangani is the last stopping off point on the <b>Comoros</b> before a perilous ocean crossing for would-be migrants trying to reach the French island of Mayotte.</p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s2">But in recent weeks, the kwassa kwassa -- small wooden fishing launches inadequate for the 70-kilometre (43-mile) Indian Ocean journey -- have remained tied up on the shore.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s2"><b>Mayotte</b> is France's 101st and poorest administrative region and anti-immigrant groups have launched protests against new arrivals despite a vow from Paris to tighten citizenship rules.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s2">Part of the <b>Comoros</b> archipelago, <b>Mayotte</b> voted to remain part of France in 1974, when the other three islands sought and won independence.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s2">The current state, the Union of the <b>Comoros</b>, maintains a claim on the French island and many here resent the ever-stricter immigration rules.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s2"><b>Mayotte</b> may be poor in European Union terms, but the <b>Comoros</b> are one of Africa's poorest countries.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s2">Thousands of would-be migrants from the <b>Comoros</b> or mainland Africa try to make the journey every year and are now estimated to make up just under half of <b>Mayotte</b>'s 310,000 population.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s2">This has proved too much for some of the locals, who have set up barricades on the streets to demand action from the state to rein in undocumented migration.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s2">In Kangani, a small town of a few thousand souls on the easternmost <b>Comoros</b> island of Anjouan, this has disrupted the migrant smuggling business and other covert <strong>trade.</strong></span></p>
<p class="p4"><strong><span class="s3">- Tattooed youths -</span></strong></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s2">Even with its unemployment and social unrest, <b>Mayotte</b> has better infrastructure -- schools and hospitals -- than its neighbour.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s2">According to a local official, "when everything is going well", between five and six kwassa kwassa skiffs set off every day for northwest Mayotte.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s2">Now, migrants are piling up, alongside cigarettes and even livestock -- in Kangani, the entire economy of the village turns around the <b>Mayotte</b> route and business is conducted in wads of euros.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s2">"The roadblocks affect us all, there are no more kwassa kwassa departures until things get back to normal," said Chadhuli Tafsir, a man in his 30s from the village itself.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s2">Among the migrants held up waiting for their first crossing there are also tattooed youths, who have already been expelled from French soil.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s2">They are recognisable by the dyed blonde streaks of hair, a fashionable hairdo on Mayotte.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s2">They're keen to go back, but the situation is tense, and many locals refused to speak to AFP or turned their backs when reporters approached.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s2">France's latest initiative to dissuade migrants from making the trip was a proposal to strip children born on <b>Mayotte</b> to non-French parents from having the right to claim citizenship.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s2">Interior Minister Gerard Darmanin's shock proposal of a constitutional amendment has yet to appease the protesters on <b>Mayotte</b>, but it has added to frustration in Kangani.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s2">"Abolishing the law of the soil is a bad idea for everyone concerned," muttered Tafsir, as a group of men gathered to discuss the decline in trade.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s2">Ousseni, a small man in his 50s, would only give his first name, but describes himself as a fisherman-smuggler.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s2">He charges travellers between 400 and 500 euros ($430 and $540) a head to cross the strait to <b>Mayotte</b>, four or five times the average monthly salary on this archipelago of 870,000 people.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s2">The protest groups, he complains, are costing him "time and money", just like the <b>Comoros</b> coastguards who, he alleges, shake him down for 200 euros per trip.</span></p>
<p class="p4"><strong><span class="s3">- Dangerous crossing -</span></strong></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s2">"The last time I was carrying a sick person. We were prevented from crossing and I had to come back to dry land. The guy died shortly afterwards," he said.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s2">Sometimes he supplements the people trade with cigarette shipments -- and that's not all.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s2">"Some people on <b>Mayotte</b> are waiting for a cow to celebrate their marriage. It cost them 10,000 euros. It's a lot but still cheaper than over there," Ousseni said.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s2">Often, the boats must turn back because of heavy weather. Sometimes they don't make it to land at all. No records are kept but thousands are thought to have drowned.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s2">"No-one would take the risk of getting to <b>Mayotte</b> if we had any choice," said another young man, Jeansi, who is glumly awaiting the next departure. "Taking to sea is our only option."</span></p>
