France needs to give back sovereignty of so many islands around Madagascar. It's galling that they still act like a colonial state.

Like Mayotte?
The population there is the single biggest electorate for the far right. Yes, that's right; they are black Muslims yet vote for Le Pen's party around 60%.
That's because the very last thing they want is to rejoin the Comoros and be ruled by their former slavers again; France abolished slavery when it took control of Mayotte, which never was a real independent nation but an island constantly taken over by various Muslim warlords or pirates.
The uninhabited ones? Aside from politicians, does anyone care really?
Don't you mean 'Gaulling'
