Mayotte: Air France
built 643 days ago
The status of the island has remained undecided, since France refuses to designate Mayotte as one of the départements, or administrative districts, of France and has postponed many times any referendum on the territory's future. The United Nations and the Organization of African Unity... have recognized Mayotte as part of the country of Comoros.
