Police in the Comoros said Friday they had arrested the alleged leader of a smuggling network involved in the capsizing of a migrant boat that claimed around two dozen lives. The boat sank on a well-known smuggling route between the Comoros island of Anjouan and the French Indian Ocean archipelago of Mayotte on November 1. «The smuggling ringleader who owned the capsized boat was arrested on Thursday in Anjouan,» Colonel Tachfine Ahmed told AFP. «He admitted that he owned the boat and bought all the material needed for the trip,» he added, saying the 37-year-old suspect was a resident of Mayotte. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) said on Monday that at least 25 people died after the boat was «deliberately capsized by traffickers». The Comoros police said they knew of 17 deaths. Fishermen rescued five survivors who said the boat was carrying around 30 people, including women and young children, the IOM said. A survivor told AFP the smugglers sank the vessel before fleeing on a speedboat. Police confirmed the survivor's account, saying the two smugglers escaped. «We are actively looking for the two smugglers who got on another boat,» the colonel added. In addition to homicide charges, the arrested suspect faces up to 10 years imprisonment for belonging to an organised criminal group as well as three years for illegal transport of passengers. Anjouan is one of the three islands that make up the impoverished nation of Comoros and lies about 70 kilometres (43 miles) northwest of Mayotte, which became a department of France in 2011. Despite being France's poorest department, Mayotte has French infrastructure and welfare, which makes it attractive to migrants from Comoros seeking a better life.

The bells of Notre Dame in Paris rang out together on Friday for the first time since a 2019 fire that devastated the historic cathedral, AFP reporters said. The sound of the eight bells in Notre Dame's northern belfry came a month before the cathedral is to reopen following five years of painstaking restoration work in the wake of the blaze. «This is a beautiful, important and symbolic step,» said Philippe Jost, who runs the public body tasked with restoring the cathedral under challenging circumstances. On the evening of April 19, 2019 Parisians and the world watched in horror as flames ravaged the world heritage landmark and then toppled its spire. President Emmanuel Macron quickly set the ambitious goal to rebuild Notre Dame within five years and make it «even more beautiful» than before. Some 250 companies and hundreds of experts were mobilised for a restoration costing hundreds of millions of euros. Friday shortly before 10:30 am (0930 GMT), the bells sounded one by one until all eight chimed in harmony. «It's not perfect yet, but we will make it perfect,» said Alexandre Gougeon who is in charge of the re-installation of the bells. «This first test was a success.» The 2019 fire destroyed part of the northern belfry, requiring it to be restored and the bells to be removed, cleaned of dust and lead, and then returned to their space. The heaviest bell, called «Gabriel», weighs over four tonnes, and the lightest, «Jean-Marie», 800 kilogrammes. A weekend of ceremonies is to mark Notre-Dame's reopening on December 7 and 8. © Agence France-Presse
