The once insalubrious district of Carobole is adorned with its finery this Friday. It is the culmination of a long and painful struggle to get the occupants of this infamous land out of the precariousness in which they found themselves. A fight once morest the critics of moralizers who took a dim view of this substantial operation to destroy 350 boxes in September 2021. But also once morest traffic actors of all kinds who saw their business take off, and attacked violently to residents, to the mayor, “I was threatened with death”, he had indicated, to his family “the house of my ex-wife was ransacked”, until the fire of the town hall . Many young people have been used to sow terror.
Signing of the Carobole development concession between SIM and the town hall of Koungou
The inhabitants who might claim it then signed rehousing agreements, ie 200 to date, and were invited this festive Friday to the village around the Carobolé Development Concession, by the SIM-Colas group. It’s downright a small village that will set up on the 6 hectares of the site, detailed Ahmed Ali Mondroha, Managing Director of the Société Immobilière de Mayotte: “A program of 400 housing units representing an investment of 60 million euros, in in the middle of which we will find the premises of the municipal police, an associative crèche, a school, an urban park, etc. “A set for which the group will apply for the Eco-Quartier label.
The studies will be launched quickly, for a start of the housing works in 7 to 8 months, he explained to us, but with the first fittings of an investment of 22.5 million euros. It was out of the question to have a succession of buildings, we were assured, which would not rhyme with the target label.
“At home, it was too dirty! »
A relief for the quartet Alain Manteau, Assani Saindou Bamcolo, Bastien Cramp and Mélanie Guilbaud
“That’s it, we can finally live safely in this district of Carobole! exclaimed Daoud Saindou Malide, Departmental Councilor of Koungou.
All are unanimous, it is the tenacity of Mayor Assani Saindou Bamcolo, supported by his CEO Alain Manteau, who made the difference. A mayor who, before entrusting his relief at this outcome, told an anecdote: “I recently took a young girl who was hitchhiking in Longoni to go to Koungou. She explains to me that she moved because her neighborhood of Carobole had been razed. I understand that she doesn’t know who I am. I take this opportunity to ask him his feelings. She told me that she was relieved, ‘when we went to see friends, we might never invite them because at home it was too dirty’, she justified. I am happy to have contributed to this. »
We asked him regarding this difficult period of September 2021 which had seen all the mayors support him with a white march following the threats faced: “I never doubted, the threats, I go over it, it doesn’t never scared me. We have to move forward no matter what. And I draw my determination from working on the project for a long time, from 2018, but the consultation meetings that were held with former elected officials were more of a brake. Finally, we succeeded, the objective now is that the inhabitants return to their homes. »
Mamas solar ready to put their knowledge into practice
Three “Mamas Solar” light up the neighborhood
We find a very moved Mélanie Guilbaud, the Urban Development DGA, who carried out this project and the following ones, with Bastien Camps, Project Manager: “I am happy above all that this territory is gaining skills in urban renewal. . Before, we demolished and parked those we called ‘les décasés’ in a corner. Now, we are offering temporary accommodation while waiting for relocation. Despite everything, I would never have thought it would be so hard, we would never have succeeded without the tenacity of the mayor and his CEO. »
And as these development programs never happen alone, a whole whirlwind of satellite actions are also carried out. Among them, the “Mamas solar”, three mothers from Carobole whom we have followed since their departure for Senegal for training in photovoltaics, and upon their return. The town hall of Koungou had signed an agreement with the Indian association Barefoot College International which trains women in very precarious situations in the installation of photovoltaic panels. Behind, a double challenge: to give them the keys to a profitable entrepreneurial life for them and for their neighborhood, and to offer the latter a clean and autonomous source of energy.
It was a party in the village of Koungou this Friday
These three women from the former insalubrious neighborhood are in a way the future of Mayotte since they will now explain the method of installing photovoltaic panels: “You see, there you have to connect the battery”, have already begun to explain Haboulati Omar, Soifati Abdou, Zaharya Youssouf. They will be present at the Maison de Projets to advise owners of small businesses on energy self-sufficiency and people staying in temporary accommodation.
A constructive spirit in every sense of the word which gives another color to the municipality.
