World challenged me today. This is the story of the expulsion of a person with work and family, yet unwanted ... I relayed:
Cholet (Maine-et-Loir) SPECIAL ENVOY
I see the Sometimes the face of his father on the screen of the webcam installed in the living room but it must look far his "real souvenirs: Mamadou, 5 years, has seen his father for the last time Jan. 27, 2006.
"That day, the police rang at 7 o'clock in the morning, says his mother, Kadiatou Diakite. Oumar opened the door, I was preparing for Mamadou school. We have everything from immediately that they came to evict him. Umar put a sweater, he was allowed to take a toothbrush and toothpaste, and they took him away. Mamadou was 2 ½ years, he cried, he s 'to hang his father. "
Since that day, and Mamadou Diakite Kadiatou, who live in Cholet (Maine-et-Loire), never saw Umar. Time passed, Mamadou grew, but did Kadiatou Diakite not forgotten that day in January when she saw her companion for the last time. " I could barely talk to him before his departure," she sighs. He stayed two days at Le Mesnil-Amelot, an alien who was detained with him lent him a phone card. We could exchange a few words but he was expelled the next day to Bamako, without my being notified. It was removed without baggage, like a messy, like a bandit. "
NOW WITHOUT RESOURCES
Kadiatou Diakite and Oumar Diallo, who are both originally from Mali, met in 2002 in Maine-et- Loire. It follows then a third round of public law at the University of Angers, he is enrolled in the Faculty of Cholet. In 2003, shortly before the birth of Mamadou, they settled in the student housing of Umar, in Cholet. Kadiatou Diallo Oumar Diakite and so are legally present on French territory: they left Bamako on a student visa and they hold a residence permit.
But Oumar Diallo began working to support his family, February 21, 2005, the prefecture of Maine-et-Loire denied renewal of his student residence permit. "He then called and asked if he could change his status, said Michel Le Cler , the head of the committee to support Oumar Diallo. A lady at the prefecture, told him he needed to find a employment, preferably in a permanent contract (CDI). "
The April 30, 2005, Oumar Diallo sign a permanent contract at the plant Heuliez Cerizay (Deux-Sevres), but the process is ongoing : November 17, 2005, is the subject of an order of deportation. Two months later, he was expelled.
Since the departure of his companion, Kadiatou Diakite lives alone with her son in a town of Cholet. She lost her student residence permit by stopping his studies and is now destitute. " She has no right to work and she will not cheat , says Michel Le Cler. She sent a request for assistance from the Town Hall from Cholet to the canteen, but she was denied ." His rent - 350 euros per month - and some of its races are paid by the support committee. " I'm also going to Eating Heart , she sighs. It's hard, I can not reach. "
During the expulsion of his father, Mamadou, who is 5 years old, went through a difficult period." was a little boy very well integrated really enjoyed coming to the school, says Marie-Aline Boyer, the former director of the nursery school district. Her life changed overnight: it was stressed, it was hard to understand why his father had disappeared, he felt much despair around him. It's a little boy volunteer, clinging, has come a long way since then, but still, we feel in him a concern that prevents flourish as another child. "
Mamadou hung photos of his father in his room and he regularly sends drawings in Bamako, but it still does not accept his absence. " At school, he invented stories," says Kadiatou Diakite. He says his dad will take him to the park, that often accompanies the film. He adored her, he had never left for more than a day. After the expulsion, it was as if something had broken: he made big anger, he refused everything he proposed, he was incensed. "
" Running Scared "
Despite the circular Sarkozy on parents of children attending school in June 2005, Kadiatou Diakité which has become - in spite of itself - a symbol of undocumented Cholet, has not been corrected. She now lives holed up in his city: it does not leave the city for fear of being monitored. "We are locked here for two and a half years she says. Wednesday and Saturday, a committee member support Mamadou takes to the rink, but we go as little as possible - anyway, I have no money to pay us the bus. When I go to the store, I fear the belly. "
Kadiatou Diakite not planning to return to Mali: it has a higher education and left Bamako away from a polygamist father who was preparing to marry her and she does not want to reconnect with Malian family traditions. " I came here against the advice of my father, on my own because I wanted to have a little freedom ," she summarizes. Despite his despondency, Kadiatou Diakite still waiting for a regularization. " I do not want return to Mali and live like my mother lived, she says. I just wish that Mamadou went to school here in France, and has a good education . "
