Flag: Mayotte 🇾🇹 Emoji: Meaning & Usage
The flag of Mayotte — the Indian Ocean island that chose to remain French when the Comoros declared independence in 1975, and is now a French overseas department and EU territory. Mayotte has one of the world's highest rates of illegal immigration due to France's generous social services attracting migrants from the Comoros and East Africa.
The island has exceptional lagoon and reef ecosystems. Used for French overseas territories, Indian Ocean migration issues, EU border discussions, and the specific tensions created by disparate living standards between neighboring islands.
