They are under attack an obligation to leave the territory (OQTF) since March 2021. Since February 17, things have accelerated for Emmanuel and Séphora, 16, as well as for their two parents, who came from Congo 4 years ago.

Among them, many students and teachers from the Marcel Sambat high school, where the two high school students are educated.
“It makes no sense”
“They are friends of mine, I appreciate them very muchHugo explains, in second class, the same as Emmanuel and Sephora. In the class, it would really hurt our hearts to see them leave during the year. It’s completely nonsense that they don’t allow you to finish your course with us.”
A welcome support for Séphora which affirms that his life is now here : “I am very integrated, more than in the Congo. There, I lost a lot of contacts whereas here I made lots of friends. I get along really well with people. I love the teachers at this school. I really feel like I belong to France.“
An induced online kitty
“In a class, you have students who are more discreet than others, others who will be able to get the group moving, they are part of these students, says Pierre Ebran, the main teacher of the two teenagers. They are always very positive. Me what drives me crazy is that these two young people, every day they are in permanent insecurity and that should not exist.
To support them, an online kitty was spawned.
