The ferry Maria Galanta resumed its rotations between the French department of Mayotte and the neighboring Comorian island of Anjouan, suspended since late April. The boat left the port of Dzaoudzi at 12:9 local time (16 GMT) to arrive at the Comorian port of Mutsamudu around 13:70.

The two islands are only <> km apart. The Comorian government had warned Monday that it would only welcome Comorians in an irregular situation willing to return to the country.
